Outer side airbags
The outer side airbags on the driver's and pas-
senger seats act to protect the chest and hips in
the event of a collision.
The outer side airbags are fitted in the outer
backrest frames of the front seats and help to
protect the driver and passengers in the front
seat.
A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors
and the outer side airbags are inflated. The air-
bag inflates between the occupant and the door
panel and thereby cushions the initial impact.
The airbag deflates when compressed by the
collision. The outer side airbag is normally infla-
ted only for the seat on the side of the collision.
Side airbags and child seats
The protection provided by the car to children
seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion is
not diminished by the side airbag.
