Head airbags*

Description of the head airbags

The head airbag together with the side airbag offers enhanced occu-

pant protection in the event of a side collision.

The head airbags are positioned above the doors on both sides in the interior of the

car ⇒ fig. 176. The installation positions are each marked with the “AIRBAG” logo.

The head airbag together with the three-point seat belts and the side airbags, offers

additional protection for the head and neck area of the occupants in the event of a

side collision of major severity ⇒ page 182, “Important safety information on the

head airbag”.

Apart from their normal protective function, a further task of the seat belts is to

also hold the driver and the occupants in a correct seated position in the event of a

side collision so as to enable the head airbags to offer the maximum protection.

You should therefore always fasten the seat belts, not only because this is required

by law, but also for safety reasons and for your own protection ⇒ page 168, “Why

seat belts?”.

Together with other elements (such as cross bars in the seats, stable vehicle struc-

ture) the head airbags are the consequent further development of occupant

protection in the case of side collisions.

Function of the head airbags

The risk of injury to the head and neck area is reduced in the event of

a side collision by fully inflated head airbags.

In the case of a side collision the head airbag is deployed together with the rele-

vant side airbag and the belt tensioner on the side of the car on which the accident

occurs ⇒ fig. 177.

If the system is deployed, the airbags are filled with propellant gas and extend over

the entire area of the side window including the door pillar ⇒ fig. 177.

The protection offered by the head airbags is thus available simultaneously both to

the front occupants of the car seated on the side on which the accident occurs, as

well as to the rear occupants. Any impact of the head against parts of the interior or

objects outside of the car, is cushioned by the inflated head airbag. The reduction

in any impact to the head and the resultant minimizing of any movements of the

head additionally reduce the risk of injuries to the neck area. The head airbag also
