SRS (Supplementa
lRestraint System)
Introduction SRS consist
sof:
R theS RS warning lamp6
R airbags
R the airbag control unit with crash sensors
R belt tensio ners forthe front seat belts and
the outer seat belts in the rear
R belt force limiters
SRS reduce sthe risk of occupants coming
int oc ontact with the vehicle' sinterior in the
event of an accident. It can also reduce the
forces to which occupant sare subjecte ddur-
ing an accident.
SRS warning lamp G
WARNING
If SRS is malfunctioning, individual systems
may be triggered unintentionally or might not
be triggered in the event of an accident with
ah igh rate of vehicle deceleration.
Am alfunction has occurred if:
R the 6 SRS warning lamp does not light
up when the ignition is switched on.
R the engine is running and the 6SRS
warning lamp does not go out after afew
seconds.
R the engine is running and the 6SRS
warning lamp lights up again.
In this case, have SRS checked immediately
at aq ualified specialist workshop.
SRS functions are checked regularly when
you switch on the ignitio nand whe nthe
engin eisrunning. Therefore, malfunctions
can be detected in good time.
The 6 SRS warning lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up when the ignition is switched
on. It goes out no later than afew seconds
after the engine is started. Triggering of belt tensioners, belt force
limiters and airbags During the first stage of
acollision ,the airbag
con trol unit evaluates important physical
data relatin gtovehicle deceleration or accel-
eration, such as:
R duration
R direction
R magnitude
Based on the evaluation of this data, the air-
bag control unit pre-emptively triggers the
belt tensioners in the first stage.
If there is an even higher rat eofvehicle decel-
eration or acceleration in alongitudinal direc-
tion ,the front airbags ar ealso deployed.
Your vehicle has adaptive, two-stage front air-
bags. The airbag control unit evaluates vehi-
cle deceleration or acceleration in the event
of ac ollision .Inthe first deploymen tstage,
the front airbag is filled with enoug hpropel-
lan tgas to reduce the risk of injuries. The
front airbag is fully deploye difasecond
deployment threshold is reached within afew
milliseconds.
The belt tensioner and airbag triggering
thresholds are variable and are adapted to the
rat eofd eceleration or acceleration of the
vehicle. This process is pre-emptive in nature.
The triggerin gprocess mus ttake place in
good time at the start of the collision.
The rate of vehicle deceleration or accelera-
tion and the direction of the force are essen-
tially determined by:
R the distribution of forces during the colli-
sion
R the collisio nangle
R the deformation characteris tics of the vehi-
cle
R the characteris tics of the object with which
the vehicle has collided
Factors which can only be seen and measured
after acollision has occurred do not play a
decisive role in the deployment of an airbag, Occupant safety
