IMPORTANT NOTES
In the event of a side impact, the system
provides best protection if the
passenger sits on the seat in a correct
position, thus allowing correct window
bag deployment.
The front airbags and/or side bags may
be deployed if the car is subject to
heavy knocks or accidents involving the
underbody area, such as for example
violent shocks against steps, kerbs or
low obstacles, the car falling in big holes
or dips in the road.

SIDE BAGS
(Side bag -
Window bag)
(where provided)
To help increase front occupants
protection in the event of side impact
collisions, the vehicle may be equipped
with front side bags and window bags.
SIDE BAG fig. 15
It consists of an instantly inflating bag
housed in the front seat backrest. It
protects the chest and the pelvis of the
passengers in the event of side crashes
of medium-high severity.
WINDOW BAGS fig. 16
These comprise two “curtain” bags
located behind the side roof trims and
covered by special trim. They are
designed to protect the head of front
passengers in the event of side impacts,
thanks to their wide inflation surface.
