Window curtain air bags
The window curtain air bags enhance the level of protection for the head, but not chest or arms, of the vehicle occupants on the side of the vehicle on which the impact occurs.
The window curtain air bags are integrated into the side of the roof frame and deploy in the area from the A-pillar to the C-pillar.
Example: Sedan Window curtain air bags 1 are deployed:
- on the side on which an impact occurs
- at the start of an accident with a high rate
of lateral vehicle deceleration or
acceleration, e.g. in a side impact
- regardless of whether the front-passenger
seat is occupied
- independently of seat belt use
- if the vehicle overturns and the system
determines that window curtain air bag
deployment can offer additional protection
to that provided by the seat belt
- independently of the front air bags
Window curtain air bags 1 will not deploy in impacts with deceleration rates which do not exceed the system's preset deployment thresholds for vehicle deceleration or acceleration. You will then be protected by the fastened seat belt.
