Air Bag –Thorax Drv/Co-Drv

Details & Technology

The seatback-mounted thorax bags for the driver and co-driver are 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/co-

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 and co-driver in the event of a severe side impact.

Not in conjunction with the twin co-driver's seat (Code S23).
