Curtain air bags
OJWEV031040 
OJWEV031039L
Curtain air bags are located along both 
sides of the roof rails above the front and 
rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the 
heads of the front seat occupants and 
the rear outboard seat occupants in 
certain side impact collisions.
The curtain air bags are designed to 
deploy during certain side impact 
collisions, depending on the crash 
severity.
For vehicles equipped with a rollover 
sensor the side and/or curtain air bags 
and pre-tensioners on both sides of 
the vehicle may deploy if a rollover or 
possible rollover is detected.
The curtain air bags are not designed 
to deploy in all side impact or rollover 
situations.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or 
death from an inflating curtain air bag, 
take the following precautions:
ś All seat occupants must wear 
seat belts at all times to help keep 
occupants positioned properly.
ś Properly secure Child Restraint 
System as far away from the door as 
possible.
ś Do not place any objects over the air 
bag. Also, do not attach any objects 
around the area the air bag inflates 
such as the door, side door glass, 
front and rear pillar, roof side rail.
ś Do not hang other objects except 
clothes, especially hard or breakable 
objects.
In an accident, it may cause vehicle 
damage or personal injury.
ś Do not allow passengers to lean their 
heads or bodies onto doors, put their 
arms on the doors, stretch their arms 
out of the window, or place objects 
between the doors and seats.
ś Do not attempt to open or repair 
the side curtain airbags. If the side 
curtain airbags require repair or 
maintenance, have the vehicle 
inspected by an authorized retailer of 
Genesis Branded products.
