GENERAL INFORMATION

Arrangement of a side safety cushion in a back of forward sitting

Together with safety cushions of the driver and forward passenger in forward seats side safety cushions are established. The volume of side safety cushions makes 12 l.

Side safety cushions are located in backs of front seats and protect the driver and the passenger at side crashes.

Depending on the direction of blow only those safety cushions which are most close to a blow point work.

The side blow is defined by the sensor which is located under forward sitting. On the basis of information from this sensor the control unit determines force of blow and, if necessary, includes the corresponding safety cushion.
