When the air bag crash sensors detect a side impact of greater than moderate force, the curtain air bag inflates quickly and helps to reduce injury mainly to the rear outboard passenger's head caused by directly hitting interior parts such as a door or window. In a side impact: Greater than moderate impact to one side of the vehicle will cause the curtain air bag on that side only to inflate. The only one side of curtain air bag will deploy only on the side the vehicle receives the force of the impact. In a roll-over: In response to a vehicle roll-over, both curtain air bags inflate. Both curtain air bags will deploy after the roll-over accident is detected. 2-52 Form No.8AS7-EA-09E
