Introduction to the restraint system
The restraint system can reduce the risk of
vehicle occupants comin gintoc ontact with
parts of the vehicle' sinterior in the even tof
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 securin gsystem
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 47)
R have the seat and head restraint adjusted
properly (Y page 123)
As the driver, you must also make sure that
the steering wheel is also adjusted properly.
Observ ethe information on the correct driv-
er's seat position (Y page 122).
In addition ,you must make sure that the air-
bags can inflat eproperly if they are deployed
(Y page 50).
An airbag supplement sacorrectly worn seat
belt. As an additional safet ydevice, the airbag
increases the level of protection for vehicle
occupants in the even tofanaccident. The
airbags are not deployed, for example, in the even tofana ccidentinwhich sufficient pro-
tection is offered by the seat belt. In addition,
only thos eairbags, which in the applicable
acciden tsituation soffer additional protec-
tion ,are deployed in the even tofanaccident.
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 "Deploymen tof
belt tensioner sand airbags" (Y page 53).44
Occupant safetySafety

You can also cancel the rear seat belt status
indicator immediately (Y page 299).Airbags
Introduction The installation location of an airbag is iden-
tified by the AIRBA Gsymbol.
An airbag supplements acorrectly worn seat
belt. It is not areplacemen tfor the seat belt.
The airbag offers additional protection in
applicable accident situations.
Not all airbags are deployed in an accident.
The differen tairbag systems work independ-
ently of each other (Y page 53).
However, no system available today can com- pletely eliminate injuries and fatalities.
It is also not possible to completely rule out a
risk of injury caused by an airbag due to the
speed at which the airbag must be deployed.
Important safet ynotes G
WARNING
If you deviat efromt he correc tseat position,
the airbag cannot perform its intended pro-
tectiv efunction and can even cause addi-
tional injuries when deployed. There is an
increased risk of serious or even fatal injuries.
In order to avoid such risks, always ensure
that all vehicle occupants:
R fasten their seatbelts correctly, including
pregnant women
R are seate dcorrectly and maintain the fur-
thest possible distanc efromt he airbags
R observe the followin gnotes
Always ensure that there are no object sloca-
ted betwee nthe airbag and the vehicle occu-
pant.
R Adjust the seats properly befor ebeginning
your journey. Always make sure that the
seat is in an almost upright position. The centr
eofthe head restraint must support
the head at about eye level.
R Move the driver's and front-passenger
seats as far back as possible. The driver's
seat position must allow the vehicle to be
drive nsafely.
R Only hold the steerin gwheel on the out-
side. This allows the airbag to be fully
deployed.
R Always lean against the backrest while driv-
ing. Do not lean forwards or lean against
the door or side window. You may other-
wise be in the deploymen tarea of the air-
bags.
R Always keep your feet in the footwell in
front of the seat. Do not put your feet on the
dashboard ,for example. Your feet may oth-
erwise be in the deploymen tarea of the
airbag.
R Always secur epersons less than 1.50 mtall
in suitable restraint systems .Uptothis
height ,the seat belt canno tbeworn cor-
rectly.
If ac hild is travelling in you rvehicle, also
observe th efollowing notes:
R Always secure childre nunde rtwelve years
of age and less than 1.50 mtall in suitable
child restraint systems.
R Child restraint systems should be fitte dto
th er ear seats.
R Only secure achild to th efront-pa ssenger
seat when th efront-pa ssenger fron tairbag
is disabled, and only then in arearward-
facing child restraint system. If the
PASSENGER AI RBAG OFFindicator lamp is
permanently lit ,the front-passenger front
airbag is disabled (Y page 45).
R Always observ ethe instruction sand safety
note son" Children in th evehicle"
(Y page 58) and on th e"Child restraint
system on th efront-pa ssenger seat"
(Y page 67 )inaddition to th echild
restraint system manufacturer' sinstalla-
tio ninstructions. 50
Occupant safetySafety

Objects in the vehicle interior may pre-
vent the airba gfrom functioning cor-
rectly. Beforestarting your journey and to
avoid risks resulting from the speed of the
airbag as it deploys, make sure that:
R there are no people, animals or objects
between the vehicle occupant sand an air-
bag.
R there are no objects between the seat, door
and B-pillar.
R no hard objects, e.g. coat hangers, are
hanging on the grab handles or coat hooks.
R no accessories, such as cup holders, are
attached to the vehicle within the deploy-
ment area of an airbag, e.g. to doors, side
windows, rear side trim or side walls.
R no heavy, sharp-edged or fragile objects
are in the pockets of your clothing. Store
such objects in asuitable place. G
WARNING
If you modify an airbag cover or affix objects
such as stickers to it, the airbag can no longer function correctly. There is an increased risk
of injury.
Never modify an airbag cover or affix objects
to it. G
WARNING
Sensors to control the airbags are located in
the doors. Modification sorwork not per-
formed correctly to the doors or door panel-
ling, as well as damaged doors, can lead to the function of the sensor sbeing impaired. The
airbags might therefore not function properly any more. Consequently, the airbags cannot
protec tvehicle occupant sasthey are
designed to do. This poses an increased risk
of injury.
Never modify the doors or parts of the doors.
Always have work on the doors or door pan-
elling carried out at aqualified specialist
workshop. Front airbags
