system
- For safety reasons, the alternator and the
starter are both disconnected from the bat
tery via a pyrotechnic circuit breaker in se
vere accidents.
-Any repairs to the pyrotechnic circuit
breaker must always be performed by a
qualified workshop - risk of accident!
- The relevant safety requirements must be
observed when the vehicle or the circuit
breaker are scrapped.
When are the airbags triggered?
One or more airbag systems are triggered in se
vere collisions, depending on the circumstances.
The airbag system is not triggered in minor colli
sions, or in rear collisions, or if the car overturns.
In these situations, the occupants are protected
by wearing the seat belts.
Factors determining the triggering response
It is not possible to define the exact triggering
response of the airbag system in all possible sit
uations, since the circumstances in different
types of accident will vary considerably. Impor
tant factors include, for example, the nature
(ha rd or soft) of the object which the car hits, the
angle of impact, vehicle speed and so on.
Whether the airbags are triggered depends pri
marily on the vehicle deceleration rate resulting
from the collision. By processing the signals from
the sensors located in the vehicle, the electronic
control unit is immediately able to evaluate the
severity of the collision and activate the restraint
systems accordingly. If the deceleration rate is
below the predefined reference value in the con
trol unit the airbags will not be triggered, even
though the accident may cause extensive damage
to the car.
([J) Note
The airbag releases a fine dust when it in
flates. This is quite normal and does not
mean there is a fire in the vehicle.

WARNING
There is a high risk of accidents when towing/
tow-starting, as the towed vehicle can easily
be driven into the towing vehicle.
CD CAUTION
- If it is not possible to tow the vehicle as de
scribed above (e.g. due to a gearbox failure
or if the vehicle has to be towed further
than 50 km), it must be transported on a
special car transporter or trailer.
- To wing a vehicle with the wrong axle raised
can cause serious damage to the gearbox.
@ Note
- Automatic gearbox: It is not possible to
move the selector lever out of position P if
the electrical power supply fails. Before the
vehicle can be recovered/manoeuvred you
must manually release the selector lever
¢page 78.
- Please observe the relevant regulations
when towing or tow-starting.
Towing away

Preparations
.. Attach the tow-rope or the tow-bar only to the
towing anchorages provided for this purpose
¢page 252, ¢page 252.
.. Please ensure that the tow-rope is not twisted
as it could otherwise become unscrewed from
the towline anchorage while the vehicle is being
towed.
.. The hazard warning lights of both vehicles
must normally be switched on ¢ page 40. How
ever, observe any regulations to the contrary.
Towing vehicle (front)
.. Ensure that the tow-rope is taut before you
drive off.
