Safety features of your vehicle
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side impact
collisions, depending on the crash sever-
ity, angle, speed and impact. The curtain
air bags are not designed to deploy in all
side impact situations, collisions from the
front or rear of the vehicle or in most
rollover situations.Important safety notes for curtainairbag systems
Following is a number of safety points
concerning this system which should
always be observed to ensure risk of
injury is reduced in an accident.
WARNING
Before installing child restraints, always refer to "Child Restraint System" to ensure correct instal-
lation and occupant protection ismaximised.
Make sure that the occupant does not have any body parts
(head, arms & legs) protruding
outside the restraining system. If
an inflating airbag was to strike
an infant child on the head, it may
cause serious injury.
Ensure the opening for the Curtain Airbag System remains
unobstructed at all times, so that
the airbags can inflate properly ifneeded.

The built in coat hooks shouldonly be used for light weight
clothing, ensure that pockets are
free of any heavy or sharp
objects. When using coat hooks,
do not hang clothes on coat
hangers.
The space between the occupant and the curtain airbag must never
be occupied by children, passen-
gers or pets. Occupants should
never lean out or have any parts
of their body protruding from the
window whilst the engine is run-ning.
Do not move the sun visor out to cover the side window if there is
an item attached to it such as
garage door remote control,
pens, air fresheners or the like.
These objects may cause injury if
the Curtain Airbag is deployed.
