• The side-impact bars are installed in positions which can make use of spring force and tensile force to disperse the impact during a side-impact collision and prevent the doors from deforming inward.
• The front door side-impact bars upper and lower are connected to the front door hinges, and positioned such that they overlap the center pillar.
• The rear door side-impact bar lower is connected to the rear door hinge and positioned such that it overlaps the side seal.
