Air Bag –Thorax Driver (Backrest)

Details & Technology

The seatback-mounted thorax bag for the driver is activated in the event of an accident with

severe lateral acceleration/deceleration (e.g. a side impact). Within fractions of a second the

thorax bag fills with gas and deploys between the door and the driver's torso.

Benefits & Arguments

Enhanced torso (thorax) protection in the event of a severe side impact

In conjunction with a fastened safety belt, the thorax bag reduces the risk of torso

(thorax) injuries to the driver in the event of a severe side impact
