FRONT SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE-IM-PACT SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG ANDROOF-MOUNTED CURTAIN SIDE-IM-PACT AND ROLLOVER SUPPLEMEN-TAL AIR BAG SYSTEMS
Theside air bags are located in the outside
of the seatback of the front seats. The
curtain and rollover air bags are located in
the side roof rails. These sys tems are
designed to meet voluntary guidelines to
help reduce the risk of injury to out-of-
position occupants. However, all of the
information,cautions and warnings in this
manual still apply and must be followed.
The side air bags and curtain and rollover
air bags are designed to inflate in higher
severity side collisions,although theymay
inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of a higher
severity side impact.They are designed to
inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted. They may not inflate in certain
side collisions on the side where the
vehicle is impacted. Curtain and rollover
air bags are also designed to inflate in
certain types of rollover collisions or near
rollovers.
Vehicledamage (or lack of it) is not always
an indication of proper side air bag and
curtain and rollover air bag operation.
When the side air bags and curtain and
rollover air bags inflate, a fairlyloud noise
may be heard, followed by release of
smoke. This smoke is not harmful and
does not indicate a fire. Care should be
taken not to inhale it, as it may cause
irritationand choking. Those with a history
of a breathing condition should get fresh
air promptly.
Side air bags, along with the use of seat
belts, help to cushion the impact force on
the chest and pelvic area of the front
occupants. Curtain and rollover air bags
help to cushion the impact force to the
head of occupants in the front and rear
outboard seating positions. They can help
