2016 Hyundai Equus child seat

Curtain air bag
Curtain air bags are located along
both sides of the roof rails above the
front and rear doors.
They are designed to help protect
the passengers' heads in the front
and the rear seats (excluding the
rear center seat) in a certain side
impact collision.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy only in a certain side-impact
collision, depending on an impact
severity, an angle, a speed and a
direction. The curtain air bags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact
situations, a frontal/rear collision or
most rollovers.

tion of a vehicle or which are
not permissible by law, should
never be used in driving.
