Airbag Systems
In addition to the driver and front passenger
airbags, the Passat is equipped with side air-
bags as standard.
Depending on the side and angle of impact,
only the airbags in the immediate vicinity of
the danger zone are inflated.
Therefore, an uninflated airbag on the side
facing away from the accident need not
necessarily be defective.
The driver and front passenger airbags, which
have filling volumes of roughly 65 ltr. and 120
ltr. respectively, conform to the new internatio-
nal-standard airbag sizes.
The volume of the standard side airbag is
roughly 12 litres.
