3.12.10 Curtain Airbag (if equipped)
The curtain airbag is mounted inside the area above the front/rear
doors, which meets the bottom of the roof on both sides. This
airbag is deployed in a side collision which meets the airbag
deployment conditions to protect the occupants in the front and
rear seats.
• Do not apply impact on the area where the collision
detection sensors for curtain airbag and side airbag are
installed. The airbag may be deployed accidentally
• Do not slam the door as the curtain airbag may be deployed
unexpectedly
• The curtain airbag’s and side airbag’s are deployed at the
same time during a side collision. Those airbag’s on each
side is activated independently of each other
Front Airbag Operation (Driver and Passenger Side)
The airbag inflates when:
• In response to a severe frontal impact, the driver’s and front
passenger’s airbag deploy at the same time to supplement the
seat belts to prevent or reduce any personal injuries
The airbag can inflate when:
• Underbody impact from the road surface; impact against the
curb at a very high speed; dropping impact onto the road surface
with a large angle
The airbag does not inflate when:
• Rollover, side impact or rear impact
• If the severity of impact to the vehicle is not significant
The airbag seldom inflates when:
• Oblique impact, rollover
• Weak impact in which the sensor is unable to detect (under the
inflation requirements)
• Impact against narrow objects such as a utility pole or a tree
• The vehicle falls into a drainage or a puddle
