for emergency escape
The front side windows and rear side windows, as well as the rear window can be shat-
tered with an emergency hammer

Escaping the vehicle from the window
There are cases where escaping the vehicle from the window is not possible due to
seating position, passenger body type, etc.
When using an emergency hammer, consider your seat location and the size of the
window opening to ensure that the opening is accessible and large enough to escape.
