Introduction to the restraint system
The restraint system reduces the risk of vehi-
cle occupants coming into contact with parts of the vehicle's interior in the event of an
accident. The restraint system can also reduce the forces to which vehicle occupants
are subjected during an accident.
The restraint system includes the:
R seat belt system
R airbags
R child restraint system
R child seat securing system
The components of the restraint system work
in conjunction with each other. They can only
offer protection if all vehicle occupants
always:
R have the seat belt correctly fastened
(Y page 46)
R have the seat and head restraint adjusted
properly (Y page 109).
As the driver, you must also make sure that
the steering wheel is also adjusted properly.
Observe the information on the correct driv-
er's seat position (Y page 108).
In addition, you must make sure that the air-
bags can inflate properly if they are deployed (Y page 48).
An airbag supplements a correctly worn seat
belt and, as an additional safety device,
increases protection for vehicle occupants in
applicable accident situations. The airbags
are not deployed, for example, in the event of an accident in which sufficient protection is
offered by the seat belt. In addition, only
those airbags, which in the applicable acci-
dent situations offer additional protection,
are deployed in the event of an accident.
However, the seat belt and airbag generally
do not protect against objects penetrating
the vehicle from the outside.
Information on how the restraint system
operates can be found under "Deployment of
belt tensioners and airbags" (Y page 57).
See "Children in the vehicle" for further infor- mation on children travelling in the vehicle as
well as on child restraint systems
(Y page 59). 42

STEER CONTROL
General notes STEER CONTROL helps you by transmitting a
noticeable steering force to the steering
wheel in the direction required for vehicle
stabilisation.
This steering support is provided in particular
if:
R both right wheels or both left wheels are on
a wet or slippery road surface when you
brake.
R the vehicle starts to skid.
Important safety notes No steering support is provided from STEER
CONTROL, if
R ESP ®
is malfunctioning.
R the steering is faulty.
Power steering will, however, continue to
function. Anti-theft systems
