In either case, the result could be serious injuries. . Never hang or place coat hangers or other hard or pointed objects near the side windows. If such items are present when the SRS curtain airbags deploy, they could be thrown through the passenger compartment and cause serious injuries. They could also prevent proper operation of the SRS curtain airbags. WARNING Do not put any kind of cover or clothes or other objects over either front seatback and do not attach labels or stickers to the front seat surface on or near the SRS side airbag. They could prevent proper deployment of the SRS side airbag, reducing protection available to the front seat's occupant. ! Operation deploy independently of each other since each has its own impact sensor. Therefore, they may not both deploy in the same accident. Also, the SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag deploys independently of the driver 's and front passenger 's SRS frontal airbags in the steering wheel and instrument panel. An impact sensor, which senses impact force, is located in each of the following locations. . In the left and right front doors . In the left and right center pillars . In the left and right rear wheel houses . Under the rear center seat For XV CROSSTREK models, a rollover sensor is also located inside the airbag control module. If the impact sensor that is located under the rear center seat and one of the center pillar impact sensors or front door impact sensors together sense an impact force above a predetermined level in a side collision, the control module causes both the SRS side airbag and curtain airbag on the impacted side to inflate regardless of whether the rear wheel house impact sensor on the same side senses an impact. If the impact sensor that is located under The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag can function only when the ignition switch is in the "ON" position.

Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
A
hands-free
microphone
or
other accessory in such a loca-
tion could be propelled through
the cabin with great force by the
curtain airbag, or it could prevent
correct deployment of the curtain
airbag. In either case, the result
could be serious injuries.
.
Never hang or place coat hangers
or other hard or pointed objects
near the side windows. If such
items are present when the SRS
curtain
airbags
deploy,
they
could
be
thrown
through
the
passenger
compartment
and
cause
serious
injuries.
They
could also prevent proper opera-
tion of the SRS curtain airbags.
WARNING
Do not put any kind of cover or
clothes or other objects over either
front seatback and do not attach
labels or stickers to the front seat
surface on or near the SRS side
airbag. They could prevent proper
deployment of the SRS side airbag,
reducing protection available to the
front seat
s occupant.
!
Operation
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag can function only when the ignition
switch is in the
ON
position.
The driver
s and front passenger
s SRS
side
airbags
and
SRS
curtain
airbags
deploy independently of each other since
each has its own impact sensor. There-
fore, they may not both deploy in the same
accident. Also, the SRS side airbag and
SRS curtain airbag deploys independently
of the driver
s and front passenger
s SRS
frontal airbags in the steering wheel and
instrument panel.
An impact sensor, which senses impact
force, is located in each of the following
locations.
.
In the left and right front doors
.
In the left and right center pillars
.
In the left and right rear wheel houses
.
Under the rear center seat
For XV CROSSTREK models, a rollover
sensor is also located inside the airbag
control module.
If the impact sensor that is located under
the rear center seat and one of the center
pillar impact sensors or front door impact
sensors together sense an impact force
above a predetermined level in a side
collision, the control module causes both
the SRS side airbag and curtain airbag on
the impacted side to inflate regardless of
whether
the
rear
wheel
house
impact
sensor
on
the
same
side
senses
an
impact.
If the impact sensor that is located under
