Airbag system

The airbag system consists of several

internal systems.

Front airb ag system 3

The front airbag system will be triggered in

the event of a serious accident involving a

frontal impact and forms safety cushions

for the driver and front passenger. The

forward movement of the driver and front

passenger is checked and the risk of

injuries to the upper body a nd head

thereby substantially reduced.

Side airbag system 3

The side a irb ag system triggers when a

side-on collision occurs a nd provides a

safety barrier for the driver and/or

passenger in the respective front door

area. This reduc es the risk of injury to the

up per body considerably in case of a side

impact.
