Curtain Airbag (Head Airbag)
Curtain airbags deploy from the roof lining to protect heads in side impacts and rollovers.
What is Curtain Airbag (Head Airbag)?
They cover front and rear windows. They may stay inflated longer. They protect against intruding objects. In a rollover, curtain airbags can stay inflated for several seconds to help keep occupants inside the car. After deployment, the roof lining and sometimes trim panels must be replaced. Parcel shelves or roof boxes do not affect them, but objects hanging near the windows can.
How it works
They inflate along the side windows.
Why it matters for your car
Do not hang heavy objects on grab handles. Check after roof repairs.
