Side Airbag

Side Airbag
The side airbags in the front and rear doors reduce the risk of occupant injury in the torso region of the body in the event of a side-on impact.
The side airbags are folded up inside an aluminum casing with a plastic cover behind the door trim panels. In the area of the side airbag in the door trim is a tear seam. The side airbags are fixed to the door trims as well as by a single screw to the inner door panel.
The plastic cover has defined breaking points. In a side impact of sufficient severity, the side airbag is triggered. The side airbag exits through the split line and deploys between the door and the sear occupants.

Seatbelt Tensioner
The pyrotechnic seatbelt tensioner has the task in the event of a crash to minimize any belt slack in the pelvic and shoulder region.
The seatbelt tensioner is located on the drivers and/or passenger seat. In combination with the mechanical force limiter in the inertia reel, this reduces the chest load for the seat occupants.
