word “AIRBAG”.
When the driver and front passenger airbags
are deployed, the covers remain attached to
the steering wheel and dashboard, respec-
tively ›››
Fig. 16. In conjunction with the seat belts, the front
airbag sys

tem gives the driver and the front
passenger additional protection for the head
and chest in the event of a severe frontal col-
lision.
Their special design allows the controlled es-
cape of the propellant gas when an occupant
puts pressure on the bag. Thus, the head and
chest are protected by the airbag. After the
collision, the airbag deflates sufficiently to
allow visibility.

airbag sys

for the upper body in the event of a severe
side collision ›››
 page 62, The whys
and wherefores of seat belts .
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
the normal protection from the front seat
belts, passengers are also held fast in the
event of a side collision, and this is how
these airbags provide maximum protection.
