Side airbags

Fig.28 Illustration of completely inated
side airbag on left side of vehicle.
The side airbags are located in the front seat
backrests ›››Fig.27 , ›››Fig.28.
Its location is marked with the word “AIRBAG”
on the upper part of the back of the seats or
on the lower coverings with the word AIRBAG
in relief.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the side air-
bag system provides additional protection for
the upper body in the event of a severe side
collision ››› .
In a side collision, the side airbags reduce the
risk of injury to passengers to the areas of the
body facing the impact. In addition to their
normal protection, the seat belts also hold the
passengers in the event of a side collision; this
is how these airbags provide maximum protec-
tion.
WARNING
●
If you do not wear a seat belt, if you lean
forward, or are not seated correctly while the
vehicle is in motion, you are at a greater risk
of injury if the side airbag system is triggered
in an accident.
●
In order for the side airbags to provide their
maximum protection, the prescribed sitting
position must always be maintained with seat
belts fastened while travelling.
●
In a side-on collision the side airbags will
not work if the sensors do not correctly
measure the pressure increase on the inte-
rior of the doors, due to air escaping through
the areas with holes or openings in the door
panel.
