Side-curtain airbags form a cushion between the occupant and the window, protecting the occupant’s head from striking the side of the car or intruding vehicles in side-impact crashes.

Autoliv developed a specially designed door-mounted inflatable curtain (DMIC) for convertible vehicles. This airbag is made up of a multitude of small cells in three layers (like a beehive). This ingenious structure gives it unsurpassed stability and as a result it can be used in different situations, such as rollovers, since the structure is strong enough to hold the occupants safely inside the vehicle in many severe accidents.
