Curtain airbag (if equipped)Curtain airbags are located along
both sides of the roof rails above the
front and rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the
heads of the front seat occupants
and the rear outboard seat occupants
in certain side impact collisions. 
If the curtain airbag deploys, it
remains inflated for approximately 3
seconds. The curtain airbag deploy-
ment occurs only on the side of the
vehicle affected by the impact.
 The side airbags (side and curtain
airbags) are not designed to deploy
during collisions from the front or
rear of the vehicle or in most rollover
situations.
 The curtain airbags are designed to
deploy only during certain side-
impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and
impact. The curtain airbags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact
situations.
WARNING
 In order for side airbags (side
and curtain airbags) to pro-
vide its best protection, both
front seat occupants and both
outboard rear occupants
should sit in an upright posi-
tion with the seat belts proper-
ly fastened. Especially, chil-
dren should sit in a proper
child restraint system.

system as far away from the
door side as possible, and

tem to be locked in position.
 Do not allow the passengers to lean their heads or bodies
onto doors, put their arms on
the doors, stretch their arms
out of the window, or place
objects between the doors
and passengers when they are
seated on the seats where
side airbags are equipped.

tain airbag system. This

tioned instructions can result in

Installing a child restraint on a
front passenger seat is forbid-
den.Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger seat.
If the airbag deploys, it would impact
the rear-facing child restraint, caus-
ing serious or fatal injury.
In addition, do not place front-facing
child restraint in the front passenger
seat either. If the front passenger
airbag inflates, it would cause seri-
ous or fatal injuries to the improperly
positioned or improperly restrained
child.
WARNING
 Never put child restraint in the
front passenger seat. If the
front passenger airbag
inflates, it would cause seri-
ous or fatal injuries.
 When children are seated in the rear outboard seats in
which curtain airbags are
equipped, be sure to put the
child restraint system as far
away from the door side as
possible, and secure the child
restraint system to be locked
in position.
Inflation of curtain airbag
could cause serious injury or
death due to the expansion
impact.
WARNING
When the airbags deploy, the
airbag related parts in steering
wheel and/or instrument panel
and/or in both sides of the roof
rails above the front and rear
doors are very hot. To prevent
injury, do not touch the airbag
storage areas internal compo-
nents immediately after an
airbag has inflated.
