Instinct Safety
Airbags
Engineered body design
All-Macan-models-are-equipped,-as-
standard,-with-full-size-airbags-for-the-
driver-and-front-passenger.-These-are-
supplemented-by-the-Porsche-Side-
Impact-Protection-(POSIP)-system.
The-use-of-ultra--and-super-high-strength-
micro-alloyed-steels-makes-a-crucial-
contribution-to-safety-and,-at-the-same-
time,-purposefully-encapsulates-the-
principle-of-lightweight-construction.
It-comprises-side-airbags-in-the-front-seats,-
curtain-airbags-along-the-entire-roof-frame-
and-the-side-windows-from-the-A-pillar-to-
the-C-pillar,-and-side-impact-protection-
elements-in-the-doors.-Side-airbags-are-
standard-for-the-rear-compartment.
The-forces-exerted-in-the-event-of-a-
frontal-impact-are-dispersed-by-a-system-
of-longitudinal-and-transverse-members.-
Reinforcements-in-ultra-high-strength-
steel-provide-additional-protection-for-
occupants-in-the-event-of-a-side-impact.
Two-auxiliary-sensors-in-the-bumper-help-
detect-frontal-collisions.-A-cluster-of-
acceleration-and-yaw-rate-sensors-detects-
a-threat-of-rollover-and-triggers-the-curtain
airbags-and-seat-belt-pretensioners.
The-system-also-uses-multiphase-steels.-
High-strength-and-clearly-defined-
deformability-are-two-qualities-that-they-
have-in-common.-The-passenger-cell-is-
a-cage-formed-of-high-tech-steels-and-
offers-a-high-level-of-protection.
