CURTAIN SIDE-IMPACT AND ROLL-
OVER (if so equipped) SUPPLEMEN-
TAL AIR BAG SYSTEMS
The side air bags are located in the
outside of the seatback of the front seats.
The curtain air bags are located in the
side roof rails (Coupe) or upper side of the
door trim (Roadster). All of the informa-
tion, cautions and warnings in this
manual apply and must be followed.
The side air bags and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate in higher severity side
collisions, although they may inflate if the
forces in another type of collision are similar to those of a higher severity side
impact. They are designed to inflate on
the side where the vehicle is impacted.
They may not inflate in certain side
collisions.
Roof-mounted curtain air bags are also
designed to inflate in certain types of
rollover collisions or near rollovers (Coupe
models). As a result, certain vehicle move-
ments may cause the curtain air bags to
inflate.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not
always an indication of proper supple-
mental side air bag and curtain air bag
operation.
When side air bags and curtain air bags
inflate, a fairly loud noise may be heard,
followed by release of smoke. This smoke
is not harmful and does not indicate a fire.
Care should be taken not to inhale it, as it
may cause irritation and choking. Those
with a history of a breathing condition
should get fresh air promptly.
Side air bags, along with the use of seat
belts, help to cushion the impact force on
the chest and pelvis of the front occu-
pants. Curtain air bags help to cushion
the impact force to the head of occu-
pants. They can help save lives and
reduce serious injuries. However, inflating
side air bags and curtain air bags may
cause abrasions or other injuries. Side air
