The essentials
The side airbags are located in the driver's
seat and front passenger seat backrests
›››
Fig. 26 . The locations are identified by the
text “AIRBAG” in the upper region of the
backrests.
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 function of protecting the occupants
in a collision, the front and rear outer seat
belts also hold the passengers in the event of
a side collision; this is how these airbags pro-
vide maximum protection.
