curtain-t ype airbags on each
side of the roof offering opti-
mum head protection for both
rows of seats and side impact
protection elements in each
door. Side airbags at the rear
are also available as an option.Two impact sensors are located
at the front of the car to enable
bet ter detection of a head-on
collision. The driver and front
passenger airbags use a gas
generant based on an organic
propellant. As a result, the air-
bags are lighter, more compact
and easier to recycle. A roll-over
detection system provides
additional protection in the event
that the car were to overturn.
Using sensor-acquired data, it
enables early deployment of
the curtain airbags and triggers
the seat-belt pre-tensioners.

three-point seat belts on all
five seats, as well as seat-belt
pre-tensioners (front and outer

Our ongoing development of
the light weight steel body is a
decisive factor in the enhanced
passive safet y and unparalleled
rigidit y of the Cayenne body.
In the event of an accident, a
system of side and cross-
members at the front of the car
helps to channel impact energy
in a safe and predetermined
manner. The interior is protected
by hot-formed super high-strength
steel reinforcements, including
side intrusion beams in each of
the doors.
High strength and consistent
deformation properties: t wo
