Side airbags on 850 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Joe on  Tue Jan 25 05:25 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hello,

The "SIPS" system does not necessarily include side airbags. The SIPS system started in the 900 series cars (without the airbag) and was a strengthened side member designed to push the side impact into the floorpan, rather than the passenger compartment. The 1995 850 Turbo (only standard equipment on the 850 Turbo) was the first to use the SIPS airbag (the door sill will still say "SIPS", but the seat trim will also say "SIPS bag".

I hope this helps...
