id091100414100
Purpose, Function
• The side -impact bars prevent the doors from deforming inwards during a side-impact collision.
Construction
• The front door side-impact bar lower and rear door side-impact bar lower are corrugated in shape to assure high rigidity.
• The side-impact bars disperse the impact during a side-impact collision.
• Inward penetration of the doors during a side-impact collision is prevented by directly connecting the upper and lower side-impact bars of the front doors directly to front door hinge using bolts and positioning them such that they overlap the center pillar.
• Inward penetration of the doors during a side-impact collision is prevented by connecting the rear door side impact bar directly to the rear door hinge and positioning it such that it overlaps the side seal.
Fail-safe
• Function not equipped.
