How many air-bags - 3.0d Sport 2006 ?

Mine has 6 in the front (2x front, side + A-pillars) but apparently none in the rear - were rear a/bags options?

You should as a minimum have 2x fronts, 2x Front Head curtain (A to approx just behind B pillar) 2x Front side impact in front doors and 2 Rear Head in C pillars up into roof. Rear side impact (door mounted) were a cost option.

Don't seem to have any in the rear - on or in vicinity of C pillars - no 'AIRBAG' markings anyway?

Thanks - noted (wonder if the vehicles submitted for the NCAP had rear bags?)
