Side protection system.
Front side airbags:
they are of the thorax/pelvis type and ensure, together with the door
panels, the protection of critical body parts such as the ribs, abdomen and pelvis. They are
fitted to the seat so as to always ensure the maximum efficiency depending on the seat
position.
Front side thorax/pelvis airbags (“side bags”) (where
available).
They consist of two types of instantly inflating cushions
housed in the seat backs, which are used to protect the
occupant’s thorax and pelvis in case of medium-to-high
seriousness side collision.
Curtain airbags:
they are actuated together with the side airbags (where available) and
interpose themselves between the occupant and the vehicle exterior, thus preventing the
occupant’s head from hitting highly intruding objects. The curtain airbags protect both the front
and rear passengers since they range from the front pillar to the luggage compartment.
Side head protection airbags (“window bags”) (where
available).
They consist of two “curtain” cushions housed in the side
roof panel coverings and coated with special trimmings.
They are used to protect the front and rear occupants’
heads in case of side collisions, thanks to the wide deployment surface of the cushions.
