Occupant protection
Side airbags
E69202
A label on the seatback indicates that
side airbags are fitted.
The side airbags are fitted on the side
of the seatbacks of the front seats.
In case of a severe lateral collision,
the airbag on the side affected by the
collision will be inflated.
The airbag will inflate between the
door panel and occupant. Once the
occupant s body contacts the airbag,
the propellant escapes, thereby
cushioning the impact.
The side airbags are not activated
upon minor lateral collisions nor upon
front or rear impacts.
