Just for clarification, they are NOT side curtain airbags. They are roof rail airbags, meaning they will deploy in the event of a rollover. They will not deploy in a side impact collision. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

That last sentence could NOT BE MORE INCORRECT.
The roof rail air bags WILL DEPLOY in a moderate to severe side impact, as well during a rollover.
Read the owner's manual:
Your vehicle may or may not have a roof-mounted side impact airbag and rollover sensor. See Airbag System on page 1-49. These “rollover capable” airbags are intended to inflate in moderate to severe side crashes or during a rollover. A roof-mounted side impact airbag will inflate if the crash severity is above the system’s designed “threshold level.” The threshold level can vary with specific vehicle design. Roof-mounted side impact airbags are not intended to inflate in frontal or near-frontal impacts, or rear impacts.

In addition, to the rollover sensor (located under the console) there are TWO side impact sensor, one toward the rear of each front door.
The rollover sensor senses a rollover and inflates the bags, the side impact sensor detect an impact to the side of the vehicle and inflates the roof rail bags.
Side collisions or roll overs may not cause the SDM to deploy the front bags, a frontal collision may not cause the SDM to deploy the side bags.
