Additional Safety Precautions for Side Curtain Airbag







Additional Safety Precautions for Side Curtain Airbag

Always replace damaged pillar trim panels, never repair.

Head curtain airbags must not be kinked or twisted.

After body repairs, inspect the body for weld splatter, deformations and chafing areas near the head curtain airbag (compare with opposite side if necessary).

If a deployed head curtain airbag is replaced, the headliner, door seals with weather stripping, curtain airbag guides, grab handle brackets, and the A, B, C and (if equipped) D-pillar trim must be replaced. If damaged, the rear interior lights, the roof grab handles and the roof end strip must be replaced.
