Knee Protection

Our new knee airbag system offers extra protection for the driver's legs and feet from a hard impact with the steering column and instrument panel. In the event of a crash it deploys in milliseconds in front of your knees. Working with the seatbelt and front airbag, it absorbs a significant share of the energy to be reduced in the pelvic area.
