Curtain airbags are installed securely along both interior roof rails, stretching overhead above the front and rear entry doors of the cabin.

The physical appearance of actual vehicle components may differ slightly from printed manual illustrations.

Curtain airbags shield occupants during severe side impacts and dramatically minimize passenger ejection risks during rollover accidents, particularly when combined with properly fastened seat belts.

• Curtain airbags deploy during qualifying lateral collisions, scaled dynamically to match impact severity, collision angle, vehicle speed, and precise strike location.

• Curtain airbags can trigger on the direct side of impact or deploy on both sides of the cabin depending on crash dynamics.

• Both left and right curtain airbags deploy automatically during certified rollover trajectories.

• Curtain airbags do not deploy during every side collision or minor tipping event.

• Never allow passengers to lean their heads or torsos against side doors, extend arms along door trim, stick arms or hands out windows, or position objects between door panels and seated occupants in rows equipped with side and curtain airbags.
