When a side collision or rollover occurs, the curtain airbag deploys rapidly from above the windows, providing a barrier between the occupants and the side of the vehicle. It is usually located in the roof lining or the upper portion of the door panel and extends along the entire length of the side window area.

Upon deployment, the curtain airbag forms a protective curtain between the occupants' heads and the impact surface. This helps prevent injuries to the head, face, and neck by reducing the risk of striking the windows, pillars, or other interior components of the car. The curtain airbag remains inflated for a short period to ensure extended protection and gradual deflation to avoid obstructing the vision of the driver or other occupants.
