Zusammenfassung:A motor vehicle ( 11 ) has a side door ( 14 ) having a side panel assembly ( 15 ) fitted with a pusher block arrangement ( 25 ) comprising an outer block ( 26 ) and an inner block ( 27 ). A pelvic airbag ( 35 ) is positioned between the side door ( 14 ) and the occupant ( 31 ) of a seat ( 16 ). In the event of an impact of sufficient severity, the pusher block arrangement pushes a trim panel ( 22 ) towards the seat while the pelvic airbag ( 35 ) is inflated between the trim panel and the pelvic region of the occupant to react the inertia loads on the occupant caused by the impact. A thorax airbag ( 41 ) is also inflated at the same time as the pelvic airbag ( 35 ) to support the thorax region of the occupant.
