of frontal collision, the curtain airbags re-
duce the risk of injury for the vehicle occu-
pants on the front seats and rear outer

tes at very
high speed in a fraction of a second.

Never secure any items to the cover or
in the deployment zone of the curtain
airbag.

Vehicle occupants sitting on the front
seats and rear outer seats must never
carry any people, pets or objects in the
deployment zone between themselves
and the airbags. Ensure that children
and passengers keep to this rule.
