SIDE IMPACT BAR


id091100414100


Purpose/Function

•  Side impact bars have been adopted to prevent the doors from intruding into the cabin in a side collision.

Structure/Construction

•  Waveform (double-hat shape cross section) shape has been adopted to the following side impact bars:
Front door
―  Side impact bar upper
―  Side impact bar lower
Rear door
―  Side impact bar
•  By adopting the waveforms (double-hat shape cross section) to the front side impact bar lower and rear side impact bar, strength can be assured even with thinner steel plates, achieving both high rigidity and weight reduction.
