SIDE AIR BAGS: Side Bag (for
versions/markets, where provided) and
Window Bag

Side bag (for versions/markets, where
provided)

These comprise two instantly inflating bags located in
the front seat backrests fig. 91 which protect the
pelvis, chest and shoulder area of the occupants in
the event of a side impact of medium/high severity.

Window bags

This is formed by two "curtain" window bags located
behind the side roof cover fig. 92 and covered by
special trim. They are designed to protect the head
of front passengers in the event of side collisions,
thanks to the wide cushion inflation surface.

IMPORTANT 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.

IMPORTANT The front air bags 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.
