SIDE AIRBAGS (SIDE
BAGS - WINDOW
BAGS)
To increase protection of occupants in
the event of side impact, the car is
equipped with side bags for pelvis,
chest and shoulder protection (Side
bags) for the driver and the passenger
and airbags protecting the head.
Non-activation of side bags in other
types of collisions (front collisions, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not
indicate a system malfunction.
FRONT SIDE AIRBAGS
(SIDE BAGS)
These comprise two types of bags
located in the front seat backrests fig.
88 which protect the pelvic, chest
and shoulder area of the occupants in
the event of a side impact of
medium-high severity.
SIDE AIRBAGS FOR
HEAD PROTECTION
(WINDOW BAGS)
These comprise two "curtain" bags
located behind the side roof cover and
covered by special trim.fig. 89 They
are designed to protect the head of
front and rear passengers in the event
of side impacts, thanks to their wide
inflation surface.
IMPORTANT In the event of a side
impact, the system provides best
protection if the passenger sits on the
seat in a correct position, thus allowing
correct window bag deployment.
