FRONT SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE-IM-<br />

PACT SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG AND<br />

ROOF-MOUNTED CURTAIN SIDE-IM-<br />

PACT SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG SYS-<br />

TEMS<br />

The side air bags are located in the outside<br />

of the seatback of the front seats. The<br />

curtain air bags are located in the side roof<br />

rails. These systems are designed to meet<br />

voluntary guidelines to help reduce the risk<br />

of injury to occupants. However, all of the<br />

information, cautions and warnings in this<br />

manual still apply and must be followed.<br />

The side air bags and curtain air bags are<br />

designed to inflate in higher severity side<br />

collisions, although they may inflate if the<br />

forces in another type of collision are<br />

similar to those of a higher severity side<br />

impact. They are designed to inflate on the<br />

side where the vehicle is impacted. They<br />

may not inflate in certain side collisions on<br />

the side where the vehicle is impacted.<br />

Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always<br />

an indication of proper side air bag and<br />

curtain air bag operation.<br />

When the side air bags and curtain air bags<br />

inflate, a fairly loud noise may be heard,<br />

followed by release of smoke. This smoke<br />

is not harmful and does not indicate a fire.<br />

Care should be taken not to inhale it, as it<br />

may cause irritation and choking. Those<br />

with a history of a breathing condition<br />

should get fresh air promptly.<br />

Side air bags, along with the use of seat<br />

belts, help to cushion the impact force on<br />

the chest and pelvis of the front occupants.<br />

Curtain air bags help to cushion the impact<br />

force to the head of occupants in the front<br />

and rear outboard seating positions. They<br />

can help save lives and reduce serious<br />

injuries. However, inflating side air bags<br />

and curtain air bags may cause abrasions<br />

or other injuries. Side air bags and curtain<br />
