In case of severe side impacts, the airbag on the side of the collision is deployed.
The area of coverage of the side airbag system is shown in the figure.
In special, combined types of collisions, both front and side airbags may deploy.
When the system is activated, the air bags are filled with working gas.
The air bag fills at high speed in a matter of seconds, which provides reliable protection in the event of an accident.
When the driver or front passenger rests against fully inflated air bags, their body momentum is dampened and the risk of injury to the upper body from the door is significantly reduced.
The original information is posted on the website vwmanual.ru
The air bag is designed so that upon impact, the driver's or front passenger's body load causes a controlled release of gas from the bag to cushion the impact of the head and upper body on the air bag.
When the airbags inflate, a small amount of fine dust will appear in the cabin. This is completely normal and should not be a cause for concern.
