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
