Side airbags are not compatible with swivelling front seats.
If you wish to retrofit a pivoting device on the front seats and/or an armrest on the outside of the front seats, please note the
function and/or deployment range of the side airbag.

Pressure-based airbag sensors for the side airbags are located near the top centre of the inner door panel on the front doors.
Acceleration-based airbag sensors for side airbags are located near the bottom of the C-pillar inner panel for all cab versions.
For double cab vehicles, additional airbag sensors for acceleration-based airbags are located on the lower B-pillar directly above the
seat belt retractor.
Warning note
Modifications or reinforcements in the area of the sensors
can affect the firing point of the side airbags and lead to
uncontrolled deployment of the side airbags.
Note that this does not apply to vehicles that are only equipped with front airbags and not side airbags. Drilling or grinding work in this area
is only permitted if the battery cables are disconnected.
