Head curtain side air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of head and neck injuries to front and rear seat occupants on the near side of certain side-impact collisions. Always
use safety belts and the correct child restraints for your child’s age and size, even in vehicles equipped with air bags. Children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat. See
your vehicle Owner’s Manual and child safety seat instructions for more information.
Note: All dimensions are approximate and subject to change.
