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.
