Front Side Airbags

What’s the Benefit?

These front-side airbags help enhance driver and front-passenger protection in a side impact.

The Feature:

Front side airbags are standard on the Civic Type R.

• In the event of a moderate-to-severe side impact, the side airbag is designed to deploy and inflate quickly to maximize potential protection for properly seated occupants, helping to protect the driver’s or front passenger’s upper body from injury.
• The side airbags are designed to vent before fully inflating if an occupant is in the side airbag deployment path, thereby decreasing the likelihood of an airbag-related injury.
