The side air bag module is mounted in the outboard bolster of each front seat and uses compressed gas to inflate. It provides protection for the thorax (the part of the trunk between the neck and the abdomen) and the head. In an air bag deployment situation, it deploys through the stitch seam in the side bolster. To ensure the air bag always emerges at the same point, a chute is attached to the inside of the trim cover and wrapped around the air bag module.
