Rollover protection system
The rollover protection system
consists of a reinforced windscreen
frame and roll bars under covers behind the rear head restraints.
In the event of a vehicle rollover,

They also deploy together with the
front and side airbag systems.

Active head restraints
In the event of a rear-end impact, the front parts of the active head
restraints are moved slightly
forwards. Thus the head is supported
so that the risk of whiplash injury is
reduced.

56Seats, restraintsSeat belts
The seat belts are locked during hardacceleration or deceleration of the
vehicle holding the occupants in the
seat position. Therefore the risk of
injury is considerably reduced.

not wearing seat belts endanger their fellow occupants and
themselves.
Seat belts are designed to be used by only one person at a time. Child
restraint system 3 65.

system for damage, soiling and
proper functionality.
Have damaged components replaced by a workshop. After an accident,
have the belts and triggered belt
pretensioners replaced by a
workshop.
Note
Make sure that the belts are not
damaged by shoes or sharp-edged objects or trapped. Prevent dirt from getting into the belt retractors.

When a child restraint system is being
used, pay attention to the following
usage and installation instructions
and also those supplied with the child
restraint system.
Always comply with local or national
regulations. In some countries, the
use of child restraint systems is
forbidden on certain seats.9 Warning
When using a child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat, the airbag systems for the
front passenger seat must be
deactivated; if not, the triggering of the airbags poses a risk of fatal
injury to the child.
This is especially the case if rear-
facing child restraint systems are
used on the front passenger seat.
Airbag deactivation 3 63.
Airbag label 3 59.
9 Warning
When using child restraint
systems on the rear seats, ensure that the backrests are engaged
securely in upright position.
Selecting the right system
The rear seats are the most
convenient location to fasten a child
restraint system.
Children should travel facing
rearwards in the vehicle as long as
possible. This makes sure that the child's backbone, which is still very
weak, is under less strain in the event of an accident.
Suitable are restraint systems that
comply with valid UN ECE
regulations. Check local laws and
regulations for mandatory use of child restraint systems.
Ensure that the child restraint system
to be installed is compatible with the
vehicle type.
Ensure that the mounting location of
the child restraint system within the
vehicle is correct, see following
tables.
Allow children to enter and exit the
vehicle only on the side facing away
from the traffic.
When the child restraint system is not in use, secure the seat with a seat beltor remove it from the vehicle.
