In conjunction with the seat belts, the side air-
bag system provides additional protection for
the upper body in the event of a severe side

In a side collision, the side airbags reduce the
risk of injury to passengers to the areas of the
body facing the impact. In addition to their
normal protection, the seat belts also hold
the passengers in the event of a side collision;
this is how these airbags provide maximum
protection.
