SIDE BAGS
To help increase occupants protection
in the event of side impact collisions,
the vehicle is equipped with front side
bags and window bags.
Side bags
These comprise two bags located in
the front seat backrests fig. 88 which
protect the pelvis, chest and shoulder
area of the occupants in the event
of a side impact of medium/high
severity.
They are marked by the "AIRBAG" label
sewn on the outer side of the front
seats.

Window bag
These consist of two "drop-down"
cushions, housed behind the side trim
of the roof and covered with finishing
elements fig. 89.
They are designed to protect the head
of front and rear occupants in the event
of a side collision, thanks to the wide
cushion inflation surface.

The deployment of side bags in the
event of side impacts of low severity is
not required.
In the event of a side impact, the
system provides best protection if the
passenger sits on the seat in a correct
position, thus allowing correct window
bag deployment.
