Side Impact Restraint Devices
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Vibe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The side impact air bag system supplements the protection offered by the driver door, the front passenger door, and the vehicle structure. The side impact air bag system deploys an air bag from the side of the driver or front passenger seat. A side crash of sufficient force will deploy a side air bag.
