Airbags.
All Macan models are equipped, as
standard, with full-size airbags for the
driver and front passenger. These are
supplemented by the Porsche Side
Impact Protection System (POSIP).
It comprises side airbags in the front
seats, curtain airbags along the entire
roof frame and the side windows from
the A-pillar to the C-pillar, and side
impact protection elements in the doors.
Side airbags are available as an option
for the rear compartment.
Two auxiliary sensors in the bumper help
to detect frontal collisions. A cluster of
acceleration and yaw rate sensors
detects a threat of rollover and triggers
the curtain airbags and seat belt
pretensioners.
Engineered body design.
The use of ultra- and super-high-strength
steels makes a crucial contribution to
safet y and, at the same time, purposefully
encapsulates the principle of lightweight
construction.
The forces exerted in the event of a
frontal impact are dispersed by a system
of longitudinal and transverse members.
Reinforcements in ultra-high-strength
steel provide additional protection for
occupants in the event of a side impact.
The concept also sees the use of
multiphase steels. High strength and
clearly defined deformability are two
qualities that they have in common. The
passenger cell is a cage formed of high-
tech steels and offers a considerable
level of protection.
