Curtain airbagsWARNING: Make sure that passengers
do not lean their heads against the
doors. In the event of a collision,
the curtain airbag deploys from the
headliner and may cause injury.WARNING: Never hang or attach
heavy objects from the grab handles
on the headliner. The hooks are for
lightweight garments (not for hard
objects).
The curtain airbags are designed to protect
the head in severe frontal crashes with a lateral component, severe side impacts, orrollovers. They do not inflate in all frontal
impacts and do not inflate alone in a rear
impact.
Note: Curtain airbags can help prevent
occupants from being thrown from the vehicle
in the event of a vehicle rollover.
Obstruction of Airbags
WARNING: Do not allow passengers to
obstruct the operation of the airbags
by placing feet, knees, any other part
of the body, or any other objects in
contact with, or in close proximity to,
an airbag module.WARNING: Do not attach or position
items on an airbag cover that could
interfere with the inflation of the
airbag or be propelled inside your
vehicle and injure occupants.WARNING: Never place your arm over
an airbag cover. A deploying airbag
can cause serious fractures or other
injuries.
For the airbags to correctly deploy,
obstructions cannot intervene between an
airbag and the occupant.
The following are examples of the type
of obstructions that could impede the
correct operation of the airbags or jeopardize
personal safety in the event of an airbag
deployment:
-Accessories attached to or obscuring an
airbag cover (for example, attached to
the roof lining, door pillar trim, or the
front seat backrests)
- Items of hand luggage, or other objects
placed on an airbag cover
- Feet, knees, or any other part of the
anatomy in contact with, or in close
proximity to, an airbag cover
- Head, arms, or any part of the anatomy
in contact with, or in close proximity to,
a seat-mounted side airbag
- Objects (such as items of clothing)
hanging from the handles attached to the headliner
- Objects (such as items of clothing or
cushions) draped over the part of the
front seat containing the airbag
- Seat covers/accessory seat covers over
a front seat; in particular, seat covers
that have not been designed for use
with seat-mounted side airbags. If
in doubt, consult your Lucid Service
