The side airbags are mounted in the backrest of each front seat.
The locations where they are installed are marked with the word AIRBAG.
The side airbags deploy in the event of a sufficiently severe side impact. The ignition must be on for the airbags to deploy.

In a side collision, the risk of injury to the upper body and pelvis is significantly reduced.
Warning Nothing may be placed in the area where the airbags deploy.Caution Use only seat covers designed for your specific vehicle model. Seat covers must not cover the airbag modules.
Warning Children seated close to the side airbags may be seriously injured or even killed if the airbag deploys, especially if the child's head, neck or chest is near the airbag.Do not allow a child to lean against the door or near the side airbag module.
