Curtain air bag
❈ The
actual air bags in the vehicle
may differ from the illustration.
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
heads of the front seat occupants and
the rear outboard seat occupants in
certain side impact collisions.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side impact
collisions, depending on the crash se‐
verity, angle, speed and impact. The
curtain air bags are not designed to de‐
ploy in all side impact situations, colli‐
sions from the front or rear of the ve‐
hicle or in most rollover situations.
WARNING
• In order for side and curtain air
bags to provide the best protec‐
tion, front seat occupants and
outboard rear occupants should sit
in an upright position with the seat
belts properly fastened. Impor‐
tantly, children should sit in a
proper child restraint system in
the rear seat.

• When children are seated in the
r
ear outboard seats, they must be
seated in the proper child restraint
system. Make sure to position the
child restraint system as far away
from the door side as possible, and
secure the child restraint system
in a locked position.
• Do not allow the passengers to
lean their heads or bodies onto
doors, put their arms on the
doors, stretch their arms out of
the window, or place objects be‐
tween the doors and passengers
when they are seated on seats
