Honda CR-V: Airbags / Side Curtain Airbags
The side curtain airbags help protect the heads of the driver and passengers
in the
outer seating positions during a moderate-to-severe side impact. The side
curtain
airbags equipped in this vehicle are also designed to help reduce the likelihood
of
partial and complete ejection of vehicle occupants through side windows in
crashes,
particularly rollover crashes.
The side airbags help protect the torso and pelvis of the driver or a front
passenger
during a moderate-to-severe side impact.
Housing Locations
The side airbags are housed in the outside
edge of the driver's and passenger's seat-
backs...
The side curtain airbags are located in the
ceiling above the side windows on both sides
of the vehicle.
To get the best protection from the side curtain
airbags, occupants should wear their seat belts
properly and sit upright and well back in their seats...
Other information:
While your seat belt restrains your torso, the
front airbag provides supplemental protection
for your head and chest.
The front airbags deflate immediately so that
they won't interfere with the driver's visibility
or the ability to steer or operate other
controls...
Replace your tires with radials of the same size, load range, speed rating,
and
maximum cold tire pressure rating (as shown on the tire‘s sidewall). Using tires
of a
different size or construction can cause certain vehicle systems such as the ABS
and
Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) system to work incorrectly...
