| Door Mounted Inflatable Curtain |
| |

|
|
|
The Door Mounted Inflatable Curtain (DMIC) provides a large side coverage area in vehicles which have no roof, such as convertibles. Thanks to its chamber design, this airbag offers even protection and real Inflatable Curtain (IC) performances, including improved ejection protection in roll-over accidents.
Many convertible vehicles use head-thorax bags for side impact protection. These are chest bags with an extension that inflates upwards to protect the head. But the extension can be wobbly since it is not attached to any roof pillars. There is also a risk that the occupant's head misses or slides off the relatively narrow head extension.
To address these drawbacks, Autoliv developed a specially designed door-mounted airbag 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 safe inside the vehicle in many severe accidents.
