The airbag system is not a substitute for the seat belts.
The side airbags are in the backrests of the front seats and rear seats* (Sportback) Fig. 1. The locations of the airbags are marked with the word "AIRBAG".
In conjunction with the three-point seat belts, the side airbags give the occupants additional protection for the whole upper part of the body (i.e. the chest, stomach and pelvis) in the event of a severe side collision WARNING!.
In a side collision the side airbags reduce the risk of injury to the areas of the body facing the impact.
If the side airbags are activated, the head-protection airbags are always triggered at the same time for additional protection on the side of the vehicle facing the impact Link.
Note
The bucket seats* do not have side airbags.
