Safe Driving
Side Curtain Airbags
The side curtain airbags help protect the heads of the driver and passengers in the 
outer seating positions during a moderate-to -severe side impact. The side curtain 
airbags equipped in this vehicle are also de signed to help reduce the likelihood of 
partial and complete ejection of vehicle occupants through side windows in crashes, 
particularly rollover crashes.
The side curtain airbags are located in the 
ceiling above the side windows on both sides 
of the vehicle.
The side curtain airbag is designed to deploy 
in a rollover or a moderate-to-severe side 
impact.
■Housing Locations
1 Side Curtain Airbags
If the SRS control unit sens es that your vehicle is 
about to rollover, it imme diately deploys both side 
curtain airbags and activates both front seat belt 
tensioners.
If the impact is on the passenger’s side, the 
passenger’s side curtain airbag deploys even if there 
are no occupants on that side of the vehicle.
To get the best protecti on from the side curtain 
airbags, occupants should wear their seat belts 
properly and sit upr ight and well back in their seats.
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.

NOTICE
When doors are frozen s hut, use warm water around 
the door edges to melt any ice. Do not try to force 
them open, as this can damage the rubber trim 
around the doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid 
further freezing.
Do not pour warm water  into the key cylinder.
You will be unable to insert the key if the water 
freezes in the hole.
Heat from the engine  and exhaust can ignite 
flammable material s left under the hood, causing a 
fire. If you’ve parked y our vehicle for an extended 
period, inspect and remove  any debris that may have 
collected, such as dried grass and leaves that have 
fallen or have been carried  in for use as a nest by a 
small animal. Also check  under the hood for leftover 
flammable materials after  you or someone else has 
performed maintenance on your vehicle.
