The essentials
In conjunction with the seat belts, the side
airb ag sy
s
tem provides additional protection
for the upper body in the event of a severe
side collision.
In a side collision, the side airbags reduce
the risk of injury to passengers to the areas
of the body facing the impact. In addition to
their normal function of protecting the occu-
pants in a collision, the front and rear outer
seat belts also hold the passengers in the
event of a side collision; this is how these air-
bags provide maximum protection.

››› in Side airbags* on page 88 Head-protection airbags*

Location and deployment area of the
he a
d-pr

otection airbag. There is a head airbag on each side of the in-
t
erior abo
v

e the doors ››› Fig. 26. Airbags are
identified by the word “AIRBAG”.
The area framed in red is covered by the
head-protection airbag when it is deployed
››› Fig. 26 (deployment area). Therefore, ob-
jects should never be placed or mounted in
this area ››› in Head-protection airbags* on
p ag
e 89

.
In the event of a side collision the curtain air-
bag is triggered on the impact side of the ve-
hicle.
The head-protection airbags reduce the risk
of injury to passengers in the front and rear
side seats facing the impact.

The essentials
Securing child seats with the ISOFIX/iSize and Top Tether system* Fig. 31
ISOFIX/iSize securing rings. Fig. 32
Position of the Top Tether rings on the
bac k
of the rear seat. Child seats can be secured quickly, easily
and s
af

on the rear outer seats with the
“ISOFIX” and Top Tether* system.
Two “ISOFIX” retaining rings are fitted on
each rear seat. In some vehicles, the rings are secured to the seat frame and, in others,
they are secured to the rear floor. The “ISO- FIX” rings are located between the rear seat
back
rest and the seat cushioning ››› Fig. 31.
The Top Tether* rings are located on the rear
part of the backrests of the rear seats (be-
hind the seat backrest or in the boot)
››› Fig. 32. To understand the compatibility of the "ISO-
FIX" syst
ems in the vehicle, consult the table
below.
