Dual Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) front air
bags deploy only upon detection of frontal impact.
When used in combination with the 3-point ELR seat
belts, they significantly reduce head and upper torso
injury to front-seat occupants.
The seat belts with pre-tensioner work simultaneously
with the SRS. The pre-tensioner takes up seat slack
immediately  when  a  collision  takes  place  by
restraining the front passengers sooner than the SRS.
This prevents the passengers from moving forward.

SIDE-AIRBAGS AND CURTAIN AIR BAGS
During  a  side  collision,  the  SRS  side-airbags
embedded in the front seat side area soften blows to
the front passenger's chest area, and the SRS curtain

air bags integrated into the roof side area soften blows
to the front/rear passenger's head area.

FRONT SEAT BELT
A seat belt with double pre-tensioner for shoulder and
lap has been installed on the driver's seat. A seat belt
with  pre-tensioner  is  on  the  front  passenger's  seat.
This retracts the belt to eliminate slack, and increases
the initial restraint for passengers to limit movement
of the passenger, increasing safety. In addition, the
variable force limiter has been installed on the seat
belts  (driver's/front  passenger's  seats)  to  properly
absorb the load on a passenger by extending the belt
if the belt tension exceeds a certain level, increasing
safety against an accident with a collision.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

BODY CONSTRUCTION

ZC6012910000

The  body  structure  combines  a  high-energy
absorbing structure (front and rear) and high rigidity
cabin  structure  to  reduce  the  level  of  injury  to
passengers upon front, rear and side impact, as well
as  secure  cabin  space  and  to  improve  passenger
rescue upon impact.
Employment  of  a  top/bottom  one-piece  door  outer
panel  and  door  inner  panel  pressed  door  structure
improves door panel rigidity.

SAFETY-ENHANCED FRONT SEATS

The front seats are designed to minimize the risk of
whiplash in a collision from the rear.
The head restraints have been ideally angled forward,
while the seat frame was moved toward the rear.
