Knee bag
(for versions/markets where provided)
The knee bags help protect the knees
of the driver and front passenger and
position the front occupants for improved
interaction with the front airbags.
158) 159)
Front side bags for pelvis, chest and
shoulder protection
(where provided)
The car could also be equipped with
front side bags for pelvis, chest and
shoulder protection. If your car is
equipped with front side airbags for
pelvis, chest and shoulder protection,
refer to the information below.
Front side airbags to protect the pelvis,
chest and shoulders are located on the
outer side of the front seats. The front
side bags for pelvis, chest and shoulder
protection are marked "SRS AIRBAG" or
"AIRBAG" on a label or on the outer side
trim of the seats (fig. 80).

The side bags, when provided, may help
to reduce the risk of occupant injury
during certain side collisions, in addition
to the injury reduction potential provided
by the seat belts and body structure.
When the side bag deploys, it opens
the seam on the outboard side of the
backrest upholstery. The inflating side
bag deploys through the seat seam into
the space between the occupant and
the door. The side bag inflates at a very
high speed and with such a high force
that it could injure occupants if they
are not seated properly, or if items are
positioned in the area where the SAB
inflates. Children are at an even greater
risk of injury from a deploying airbag.

Window bag
(where provided)
Your car may be equipped with a window
bag. If your car is equipped with window
bags, please refer to the information
below.
The window bags are located above the
side windows. The trim covering the
window bags is labelled “SRS AIRBAG”
or “AIRBAG” (fig. 81).

The window bags (where provided)
may help reduce the risk of head and
other injuries to front and outer rear
seat occupants in certain side collision
incidents, in addition to the injury
reduction potential provided by the seat
belts and body structure.
The window bags deploy downward,
covering the side windows. An inflating
window bag pushes the edge of the
roof liner out of the way and covers the
window. The window bags inflate with
enough force to injure occupants if they
are not belted and seated properly, or if
items are positioned in the area where
the window bags inflate. Children are
