G WARNING
Sensors to control the airbags are located in
the doors. Therefore, do not make any modi-
fications to the doors or door trim, e.g. retro-
fitting loudspeakers. Damage to the doors
can affect operation of the sidebags.
When deployed, the sidebags offer additional
protection for the thorax and the pelvis of the
vehicle occupants on the side of the vehicle
on which the impact occurs. However, they
do not protect the:
R
head
R
neck
R
arms
Front sidebags : and rear sidebags ;
deploy next to the outer seat cushions.
The sidebags are deployed:
R
on the side on which an impact occurs
R
at the start of an accident with a high rate
of lateral vehicle deceleration or accelera-
tion, e.g. in a side impact
R
independently of seat belt use
R
independently of the front airbags
R
independently of the belt tensioners
If the vehicle overturns, the sidebags are gen-
erally not deployed. They are deployed if the
system detects high vehicle deceleration or
acceleration in a lateral direction and deter-
mines that sidebag deployment can offer
additional protection to that provided by the
seat belt.
Windowbags
The windowbags enhance the level of protec-
tion for the head, but not chest or arms, of the
vehicle occupants on the side of the vehicle
on which the impact occurs.
The windowbags are integrated into the side
of the roof frame and deploy in the area from
the A-pillar to the C-pillar.
Windowbags : are deployed:
R
on the side on which an impact occurs
R
at the start of an accident with a high rate
of lateral vehicle deceleration or accelera-
tion, e.g. in a side impact
R
regardless of whether the front-passenger
seat is occupied
R
independently of seat belt use
R
if the vehicle overturns, and the system
determines that it can provide the vehicle
occupants additional protection to that
provided by the seat belt
R
independently of the front airbags
