Side Airbags - Ford Fiesta Owner's Manual

Supplementary Restraints System
The airbag will deploy during significant
frontal collisions or collisions that are up
to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The
airbag will inflate within a few thousandths
of a second and deflate on contact with
the occupant, thus cushioning forward
body movement. During minor frontal
collisions, overturns, rear collisions and
side collisions, the airbag will not deploy.

indicate this.
The airbag will deploy during significant
lateral collisions. It will also deploy during
significant frontal angled collisions. The
airbag will not deploy in minor lateral and
frontal collisions, rear collisions, or
overturns.
