Information on PRE-SAFE Impulse Side
If an imminent side impact is detected, PRE-
®
SAFE Impulse Side can pre-emptively move the
front-seat vehicle occupant's upper body toward
the center of the vehicle. It does this by rapidly
inflating an air cushion in the outer seat side bol‐
ster of the seat backrest on the side on which
the impact is anticipated. This increases the dis‐
tance between the door and the vehicle occu‐
pant.
®
If PRE-SAFE Impulse Side has been deployed or
is malfunctioning, the display message
is displayed ( page 381).
