LS Safety

The state-of-the-art network of LS airbags is designed to help provide occupants with an advanced level of protection [1]. The LS features a sophisticated dual-stage driver's and front passenger's advanced airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) that deploys at different speeds, depending on factors such as crash severity and driver's seat-track position. The front passenger's twin-chamber airbag deploys with a slight depression in its center, designed to help disperse the forces applied to the passenger immediately after deployment.

To help protect against certain types of severe side impacts, the LS features front and rear side curtain airbags that are designed to offer additional protection for the occupants' heads during a side impact. In addition, front seat-mounted side airbags are integrated into the front seats themselves so no matter where the seats are positioned, the airbags deploy in locations consistent with respect to the driver and front passenger. The available rear side airbags help keep rear passengers protected in certain types of severe side impacts. Standard knee airbags for the driver and front passenger help provide overall occupant protection in a severe frontal collision.
