If an imminent side impact is detected, PRE-  
SAFE® Impulse Side can pre-emptively move the  
front seat vehicle occupant's upper body towards  
the center of the vehicle. It does this by rapidly  
inꢁating an air cushion in the outer seat side bol-  
ster of the seat backrest on the side on which the  
impact is anticipated. This increases the distance  
between the door and the vehicle occupant.
