On the front edge of the seat frame there is a transverse plate that prevents the passenger from sliding forwards and downwards in the event of a collision. The passenger belt has a sensor which detects whether the seat is in use. CV: The seat back also forms the mounting for the side airbag and safety belt.

The cushions rest on a spring system, which is attached to the seat frame. The cushions are made of polyurethane polyethylene and covered with leather/vinyl or knitted plush.
