Side airbags (SIPS bags)

SIPS bags
Driver’s side
The SIPS bag system consists of side air-
bags and sensors. A sufficiently violent colli-
sion trips the sensors and the side airbag is
inflated. The airbag inflates between the oc-
cupant and the door panel and thereby cush-
ions the initial impact while deflating. The
side airbag is only normally deployed on the
side of the collision.
