Side/Seat Airbag | Shaar’s Cars

Deploys from the seat to protect the torso in a side-impact collision.

The side airbag is mounted in the outer seat bolster and deploys in a side-impact collision to protect the occupant's torso. Because it's built into the seat, replacement often requires reupholstering that section of the seat as well.
