Side Airbags
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.
