Honda Fit: Side Curtain Airbags
The side curtain airbags help protect the heads of the driver and passengers in outer seating positions during a moderate-to-severe side impact.
The side curtain airbags are most effective when an occupant is wearing their seat belt properly and sitting upright, well back in their seat.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof pillars as they can interfere with the proper operation of the side curtain airbags.
Housing Locations
The side curtain airbags are located in the ceiling above the side windows on both sides of the vehicle.
Operation
The side curtain airbag is designed to deploy in a moderate-to-severe side impact.
■ When side curtain airbags deploy in a frontal collision
One or both side curtain airbags may inflate in a moderate-to-severe angled frontal collision.
In this case, the side curtain airbags will deploy slightly after the front airbag
