Pelvis air bags : deploy below next to the

outer seat cushions.

When activated, the pelvis air bag enhances

the level of protection of the vehicle occu-

pants on the side of the vehicle on which the

impact occurs.

The pelvis air bag is deployed on the side of

the impact.

The pelvis air bag on the front-passenger side

does not deploy under the following condi-

tions:

R

OCS has detected that the front-passenger

seat is unoccupied.

R

the front-passenger seat belt is not fas-

tened.

If the belt tongue is engaged in the belt

buckle, the pelvis air bag on the front-

passenger side deploys if an appropriate acci-

dent situation occurs. In this case, deploy-

ment is independent of whether the front-

passenger seat is occupied or not.

Window curtain air bags

Window curtain air bags are available in the

Coupe.

Window curtain air bags : are integrated

into the side of the roof frame and deployed in

the area from the A-pillar to the C-pillar.

When deployed, the window curtain air bag

enhances the level of protection for the head.

However, it does not protect the chest or

arms.

In the event of a side impact, the window cur-

tain air bag is deployed on the side on which

the impact occurs.

If the system determines that they can offer

additional protection to that provided by the

seat belt, a window curtain air bag may be

deployed in other accident situations

(Y page 60).
