Abstract
An inflatable side restraint assembly for a vehicle includes a sail panel selectively deployed in the vehicle. The sail panel covers front and rear side window regions of the vehicle and includes an inflatable region located along a first pillar region between adjacent first and second windows when the sail panel is deployed. Likewise, a second inflatable region is located along a second pillar region between adjacent second and third side windows. An additional inflatable region extends in a direction generally perpendicular to the inflatable region, preferably located along a lower region of the sail panel. A deployable head-upper thorax restraint is configured to deploy between the sail panel and an outer end of a seat row in the vehicle, and preferably is provided at each end of each row of seats in the vehicle.
