Lateral airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed unilaterally in the
event of a serious side impact applied to all or
part of the side impact zone, perpendicular to
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the front
passenger’s abdomen and head and the
associated door trim panel.
Curtain airbags
(row 2 and 3)
If fitted to your vehicle, this is a system that
contributes towards greater protection for the

order to limit the risk of injury to the side of the
head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and
the upper passenger compartment area.
If fitted to your vehicle, this system protects
the driver and front passenger in the event of a
serious side impact in order to limit the risk of
injury to the chest, between the abdomen and
head.
Each side airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed unilaterally in the
event of a serious side impact applied to all or
part of the side impact zone, perpendicular to
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag inflates between the outer
rear passenger and the windows.
The airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a serious impact.
Operating fault
