Curtain airbags
Fig. 1 On the left-hand side of the vehicle: location and deployment zone of the curtain airbag.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, curtain airbags are installed in the vehicle interior above
the doors on the driver and front passenger sides → Fig. 1 .
The locations of the curtain airbags are indicated by the “AIRBAG” label.
The area in the red frame is covered by the curtain airbag when triggered (deployment zone)
→ Fig. 1 . For this reason, you must never leave or attach any items in this area →

In a side collision, the curtain airbag is triggered on the impact side of the vehicle.
In a side collision, the curtain airbags reduce the risk of injury to the areas of the body facing the
impact for vehicle occupants on the front seats and outer rear seats.
WARNING
Once triggered, the airbag inflates in fractions of a second at very high speed.
