Description of curtain airbags

The curtain airbag, together with the side airbag, provides greater occupant protection in a side collision.

Fig. 185 Curtain airbag mounting locations above the doors

The curtain airbags are located on each side of the passenger compartment, above the doors => Fig. 185. Each mounting location is marked with the word "AIRBAG".

In severe side collisions, the curtain airbag, combined with the three-point seat belts and the side airbags, provides occupants with additional protection for the head and neck. See "Important safety information for curtain airbags".

The SIDEGUARD airbag, combined with other structural improvements (e.g. cross members in the seats, stable vehicle structure), helps optimise occupant protection in side collisions.
