Airbag (SRS) SIPS bag
Airbags are located in the steering wheel, above the glove compartment and in the backrest of the seat.
SRS (Airbag) and SIPS bag
For added safety, some cars are equipped with SRS (Airbag) as a
supplement to the standard three-point anchored seat belts. These
vehicles have "SRS" embossed on the hub of the steering wheel, and
on the dashboard on the passenger side if the car also has an airbag
on that side. The letters "SIPS bag" are embossed on the side com-
partments by the front seats if the vehicle is equipped with SIPS bag.
The inflatable airbag is folded into the centre of the steering wheel.
On the passenger side it is folded into a compartment above the glove
compartment. The SIPS airbags are mounted in the frame of the front
seat backrests. The airbag inflates in the event of a serious collision.
The angle of impact, speed and nature of the object involved in the
collision all play a part in whether the airbag is activated. You can
read more about this on page 2:21.
