Occupant safety
Introduction to the restraint system
The restraint system can reduce the risk of
vehicle occupants coming into contact with
parts of the vehicle's interior in the event of
an accident. Furthermore, the restraint sys-
tem may also reduce the forces exerted on the
vehicle occupants when an accident occurs.
The restraint system includes:
RSeat belt system
RAir bags The components of the restraint system work
in conjunction with each other. They can only
offer the intended level of protection if all
vehicle occupants:
Rare correctly wearing their seat belts.
(Ypage 32)
Radjust their seat properly (Ypage 61).
The driver is also responsible for ensuring
that the steering wheel has been correctly
positioned. Observe the information relat-
ing to the correct driver's seat position
(
Ypage 61).
Always ensure the air bag can inflate prop-
erly if deployed (
Ypage 34).
An air bag supplements a correctly fastened
seat belt. As an additional safety device, the
air bag increases the level of protection for
vehicle occupants in the event of an accident.
For example, if the protection already pro-
vided by a correctly fastened seat belt will
suffice, the air bags are not deployed. Fur-
thermore, only the air bags that would
increase the degree of protection afforded to
the vehicle occupants in the event of an acci-
dent are deployed. Seat belts and air bags
generally do not protect against objects pen-
etrating the vehicle from the outside.
Information on restraint system operation
can be found under "Triggering of Emergency
Tensioning Devices and air bags"
(
Ypage 40).
See “Children in the vehicle” for information on children traveling with you as well as
vehicle restraint systems (
Ypage 42).
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Modifications to the restraint system may
cause it to no longer work as intended. The
restraint system may then not perform its
intended protective function and may fail
in an accident or trigger unexpectedly, for
example. This poses an increased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
Never modify parts of the restraint system. Never tamper with the wiring, the elec-
tronic components or their software.
If it is necessary to modify an air bag sys-
tem to accommodate a person with disabil-
