Side Airbag
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jaguar XE and 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The side airbags are attached to the outside of each front seat backrest frame, under the backrest cover. They provide protection for the thorax, rib and pelvis when deployed during a side impact.
The side airbags are handed and each consists of a folded airbag and an inflator in a soft cover/wrapper. When the airbag deploys it fills within a deployment chute integrated into the seat trim, and splits open the airbag deployment seam in the backrest cover.
