WARNINGS

Do not lean your head on the door.

The side curtain airbag could injure

you as it deploys from the headliner.

Do not attempt to service, repair, or

modify the side curtain airbags, its

fuses, the A, B, or C pillar trim, or the

headliner on a vehicle containing side

curtain airbags. Contact your authorized

dealer as soon as possible.

All occupants of the vehicle including

the driver should always wear their

safety belts even when an airbag

supplemental restraint system and side

curtain airbag is provided.

To reduce risk of injury, do not

obstruct or place objects in the

deployment path of the side curtain

airbag.

If the side curtain airbags have

deployed, the side curtain airbags

will not function again. The side

curtain airbags (including the A, B and C

pillar trim and headliner) must be

inspected and serviced by an authorized

dealer. If the side curtain airbag is not

replaced, the unrepaired area will increase

the risk of injury in a crash.

The side curtain airbags will deploy during

significant side crashes. The side curtain

airbags are mounted to the roof side-rail

sheet metal, behind the headliner, above

each row of seats. In certain sideways

crashes, the side curtain airbag on the

impacted side of the vehicle will be

activated. The side curtain airbags are

designed to inflate between the side

window area and occupants to further

enhance protection provided in side impact

crashes.

The system consists of the following:

E75004

• Side curtain airbags located above the

trim panels over the front and rear side

windows identified by a label or

wording on the headliner or roof-pillar

trim.

• A flexible headliner which opens above

the side doors to allow side air curtain

deployment.

Crash sensors and monitoring

system with readiness indicator.

See Crash Sensors and Airbag

Indicator (page 43).

Children 12 years old and under should

always be properly restrained in the back

seats. The side curtain airbags will not

interfere with children restrained using a

properly installed child or booster seat

because it is designed to inflate downward

from the headliner above the doors along

the side window opening.

The design and development of the side

curtain airbags 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

curtain airbags.
