SIDE RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
Side airbags
These are airbags fitted to each front
seat, and the rear side seats in some
countries, which are triggered on
the side of the seat (door side) to
protect the passengers from severe
side impacts.
The sides of the front
seatbacks (door side) and
the gap between the rear
bench seatback and the
interior fittings form the trigger
zone for the airbag, so it is
forbidden to place any objects
there.

Curtain airbags
These are airbags fitted along the
top of the side of the vehicle and
which are triggered along the front
and rear side windows to protect
the passengers in the event of a
severe side impact.
A marking on the windscreen
informs you of the presence of
additional means of restraint
(airbags, pretensioners, etc.) in
the passenger compartment.
