How does the side air curtain system work?
The design and development of the
side air curtain system included
recommended testing procedures
that were developed by a group of
automotive safety experts known as
the Side Airbag Technical Working
Group. These recommended testing
procedures help reduce the risk of
injuries related to the deployment of
side air bags (including side air
curtain systems).

side air bags (including side air curtain systems).
The side air curtain system consists of the following:
• An inflatable nylon curtain with a gas generator concealed behind the
headliner and above the doors.
• The headliner will flex to open above the side doors to allow air
curtain deployment.
• The same warning light, electronic control and diagnostic unit as used
for the front airbags.
• Two crash sensors located under the outboard side of the front seats,
attached near the floor.
• Two crash sensors located at the base of the “C” pillars above the
wheel house.
• An inflatable nylon bag (airbag) with a gas generator concealed behind
the outboard bolster of the driver and front passenger seatbacks.
• A special seat cover to allow airbag deployment (front seats only).
Side air curtains and side air bags, in combination with seat belts, can
help reduce the risk of severe injuries in the event of a significant side
impact collision.
