AIR BAGS, FRONT SEAT SIDE-MOUNTED
– DRIVER ONLY
SAFETY
Front seat side
mounted air bag*
for driver
Details and Technology
The seatback-mounted air 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 air bag fills with gas and
deploys between the door and the driver’s torso.
Benefits and Arguments
• Enhanced torso (thorax) protection in the event of a serious side impact
* Always use seat belts. Sprinter Cargo and Cab Chassis Vans are equipped only with front seats and should not be used to carry children
12 and under. In Sprinter Passenger Van, children 12 and under should always be in a back seat correctly using an infant or child restraint
system or the seat belt properly positioned, dependent on the child’s age and weight.
