Air Bag –Thorax Driver (Backrest)
Details & Technology
The seatback-mounted thorax bag for the driver is activated in the event of an accident with
severe lateral acceleration/deceleration (e.g. a side impact). Within fractions of a second the
thorax bag fills with gas and deploys between the door and the driver's torso.
Benefits & Arguments
• Enhanced torso (thorax) protection in the event of a severe side impact
In conjunction with a fastened safety belt, the thorax bag reduces t
he risk of torso
(thorax) injuries to the driver in the event of a severe side impact.
