Safe Driving
Side Curtain Airbags
The side curtain airbags help protect the h eads of the driver and passengers in outer
seating positions during a moderate-to-severe side impact.
The side curtain airbags are located in the
ceil
ing above the side windows on both sides
of the vehicle.
The side curtain airbag i
s designed to deploy
in a moderate-to-severe side impact.
■When side curtain airbags deploy in a frontal collision
One or both side curtain airbags may inflate in a
moderate to severe angled frontal
collision.
In this case, the side curtain airbags will
deploy slightly after the front airbags.
■Housing Locations

The side curtain airbags are most effective when an
occupant is wearing thei r seat belt properly and
sitting upright, well back in their seat.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof
pillars as they can interfere with the proper operation
of the side curtain airbags.
