Door Mounted Inflatable Curtain (DMIC)

The Door Mounted Inflatable Curtain system
The DMIC is a supplement to the structural side impact protection. These inflatable curtains are concealed in the upper
section of the driver and passenger doors.

The Inflatable Curtain (DMIC) and the Side Impact Airbag System (SIPS-bag) will both deploy in certain side

impacts.

In certain situations in which there is a roll-over risk, only the inflatable curtain (DMIC) may deploy.

NOTE:

DMIC deployment can occur regardless of whether the power retractable hard top is up or down.
If the inflatable curtain deploys, it remains inflated for approximately 5 seconds.

WARNING!

The DMIC system is a supplement to the Side Impact Protection System. It is not designed to deploy during

collisions from the front or rear of the car. It only provides protection for the occupants of the front seats.

Never install or mount any equipment on the insides of the doors, door pillars, or side panels. This could impede
