Side Air Curtains
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The side air curtains are installed along both sides of the car, under the edges of the headliner. They provide head protection and rollover ejection protection for outer seat occupants, in both the front and rear of the vehicle, when deployed during a side impact.
The front and rear ends of the side air curtains are anchored to the body, to maintain tension across their lower edges of the air curtains when they deploy. Their deployment area extends between the A and C pillar trims, passing over the upper B pillar trim.
