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. Furthermore, the restraint system
can also reduce the forces to which vehicle
occupants are subjected during an accident.
The restraint system includes:
R Seat belt system
R Airbags
R Child restraint system
R Child seat securing system
The various components of the restraint sys-
tem work complementary to one another. It
can only provide maximum protection if all
vehicle occupants:
R have their seat belt correctly fastened
(Y page 45)
R have correctly adjusted their seat and head
restraint (Y page 105).
As the driver, you must also ensure that the
steering wheel is correctly adjusted. Observe
the information relating to the correct driver's
seat position (Y page 104).
Additionally, you must ensure that an airbag
can deploy freely (Y page 48).
An airbag is supplementary to a correctly fas- tened seatbelt and, as an additional safety
device, provides greater protection for vehi-
cle occupants in an accident situation. If the
protection provided by the seat belt is suffi-
cient, the airbags do not deploy. Furthermore,
in the event of an accident, only airbags which
provide greater protection in the given acci-
dent situation deploy. However, seat belts
and airbags generally do not protect against
objects penetrating the vehicle from the out- side.
Information on how the restraint system
operates can be found in "Deployment of the
seat belt tensioner and airbags"
(Y page 51). 42
