Side Air Curtain

Side air curtains protect against head injuries in a side impact.

A single inflator mounted behind the rear seat unfurls the curtain and fills five separate chambers to provide head protection cushions for occupants in side-impact and roll-over events. Steel ramps guarantee the curtain does not snag on the interior trim as it unfurls, while tethers at the front and rear of the curtain ensure the curtain is held taut.
