Front airbags

The essentials
Fig. 19 Airbag covers reacting when the front
airbags are triggered.
The front airbag for the driver is located in the
steering wheel ››› Fig. 18 and the front pas-
senger airbag is located in the dash panel
››› Fig. 18 . Airbags are identified by the
word “AIRBAG”.
When the driver and front passenger airbags
are deployed, the covers remain attached to
the steering wheel and dashboard, respec-
tively ››› Fig. 19.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the front
airbag system gives the driver and the front
passenger additional protection for the head
and chest in the event of a severe frontal col-
lision.
Their special design allows the controlled es-
cape of the propellant gas when an occu-
pant puts pressure on the bag. Thus, the
head and chest are protected by the airbag.
After the collision, the airbag deflates suffi-
ciently to allow visibility.

The essentials
Side airbags*
Fig. 21 Side airbag in driver's seat.
Fig. 22 Illustration of completely inflated side
airbag on left side of vehicle.
The side airbags are located in the driver's
seat and front passenger seat backrests
››› Fig. 21. The locations are identified by the
text “AIRBAG” in the upper region of the
backrests.
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
collision ››› page 63, The whys and
wherefores of seat belts.
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 the nor-
mal protection from the front seat belts, pas-
sengers are also held fast in the event of a
side collision, and this is how these airbags
provide maximum protection.

The head-protection airbags are located on
both sides in the interior above the doors
››› Fig. 23 and are identified with the text “AIR-
BAG”.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the head-
protection airbag system gives the vehicle
occupants additional protection for the head
and upper body in the event of a severe side
collision ››› page 18.
