The location and configuration of supplemental restraint systems within a specific vehicle model are critical safety features. In the 2005 Scion xB, these systems are designed to deploy in the event of a collision, providing occupants with a cushion to mitigate potential injuries. The arrangement typically includes front airbags for the driver and front passenger, and may include side airbags depending on the specific trim level and options package.
Understanding the placement of these safety devices is paramount for vehicle maintenance, repair, and post-accident assessment. Proper functionality of the supplemental restraint system directly correlates to occupant safety during a crash. Knowledge of the system’s design also facilitates informed decision-making concerning child seat placement and other safety considerations. Early automotive safety designs evolved significantly, and the 2005 Scion xB represents a point in that evolution where airbag technology was a standard safety feature.
