The airbag system is not a substitute for the seat belts.
The side airbags are located in the backrest padding of the front seats 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.
