Curtain Airbag Location - Typical
Curtain airbags have two individually controlled curtain airbag units. These airbag units are concealed and mounted above the headliner where they are
each secured to one of the roof side rails. Each airbag cushion is contained within a fabric wrap that extends along the roof rail from the A-pillar at the
front of the vehicle to just behind the D-pillar at the rear of the vehicle. One tether extends down the A-pillar from the front of the airbag cushion, and a
second tether extends to the roof rail at the D-pillar. The end of the A-pillar tether is secured to a slot in the sheet metal with a metal hook retained by a
bolt. The D-pillar tether is attached to the d-pillar.
The hybrid-type inflator for each airbag is secured to the roof rail just behind the C-pillar. The inflator bracket and the airbag cushion are secured with
both plastic push-in fasteners and screws to the roof rail. A short pigtail wire harness connects the curtain air-bag inflator to the body wire harness.
The curtain airbag cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if deployed, faulty, or in any way damaged. Once a curtain airbag has been
