Side Air Curtains

The side air curtains are installed along both sides of the vehicle, under the edges of the headliner. They provide head protection and roll-over 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 vehicle body. This maintains tension across their lower edges of the air curtains when they deploy. Their deployment area extends between the A-pillar and C-pillar trims, passing over the upper B-pillar trim.
