airbag in the roof fram e on each side. This
can be identified by the word AIRBAG on

z the side impact sensors,
z the control indicator for airbag
systems v in the instrument.

z depending on the severity of the
accident,
z depending on the type of impact,
z within the range shown in the illustration
