rectly on th efollowin gpartsc an result in the
restraint systems no tfunctionin gasintended:
R ther estraint system, consisting of seat

Airbags and belt tensioners could fail to

The seat belts, together with SRS (Supple-
mental Restraint System), are complemen-
tary, co-ordinated restraint systems
(Y page 41). They reduce the risk of injury
in specific, pre-defined types of accident sit-
uations and thereby increase occupant
safety. However, seat belts and airbags gen-
erally do not protect against object spene-
tratin gthe vehicle from the outside. 40
