SIPS airbag
As an enhancement to the structural Side Impact Protection System built into your car, the car is also
equipped with Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags. The SIPS airbag system consists of airbag
modules built into the sides of both front seat backrests (1), cables (2) from these modules to the
mechanical sensor units (3) and gas generators (4).
The SIPS airbag system is designed to help increase occupant protection in the event of certain side
impact collisions. The SIPS airbags are designed to deploy only during certain sideimpact collisions,
depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of
impact. The airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.
NOTE: SIPS airbag deployment (one airbag) occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the
impact.
