SIDE AIRBAGS
(Side bags - Window bag)
25)
To help increase occupants protection
in the event of a side impact, the
vehicle is equipped with front side bags
(for versions/markets, where provided)
and window bag
(for versions/markets, where provided).
Side bags protect occupants from
side-on crashes of medium/high
severity by placing the bag between
the occupant and the internal parts of
the side structure of the vehicle.
Non-activation of side bags in other
types of collisions (front collisions, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a system
malfunction.
Side bag
(for versions/markets, where
applicable)
These comprise two instantly inflating
bags located in the front seat
backrests, fig. 74, which protect the
pelvis, chest and shoulder area of the
occupants in the event of a side impact
of medium/high severity.

finishing elements, which protect the
heads of front and rear occupants in
the event of a side impact thanks to a
wide bag deployment area.
