In addition to two-stage frontal airbags, the Porsche Boxster and Boxster S feature the Porsche Side Impact Protection (POSIP) system with torso-protecting thorax side-impact airbags mounted in the outer edges of the seatbacks and special head-protecting side-impact airbags which deploy from the doors' windowsills.

The frontal airbags benefit from the use of an organic-based propellant which reduces their needed storage space and their weight, while also easing their recyclability.

To protect small children, the passenger seat sensors automatically defeat the passenger front airbags if the sensors detect a lightweight occupant.

From where did you cut and paste your narrative?

Nothing in that description is accurate for a 986.
