Far-Side (Centre) Airbag
A far-side airbag inflates between the front seats to stop occupants from striking each other or moving across the car in a side crash.
What is Far-Side (Centre) Airbag?
It is mounted in the inboard side of the driver’s seat or the centre console. Euro NCAP has assessed far-side protection since 2020. It also helps when the car is hit on the opposite side to the occupant. It also helps keep the driver’s head away from the front passenger in a crash.
How it works
Sensors detect the side impact and the airbag forms a cushion between the occupants.
Why it matters for your car
Do not place covers or objects that block the airbag area of the seat. After deployment the seat and airbag must be replaced by a workshop.
