The restraint systemcanreduce therisk ofvehi-
cle occupants comingintocont actwith parts of
the vehicle's interiorinthe event ofan accident.
The restraint systemcanalso reduce theforces
to which vehicle occupants aresubjected during
an accident.
The restraint systemcomprises:
R Seat beltsystem
R Air bags
R Child restraint system
R Child seatsecuring systems
The componen tsof the restraint systemworkin
conj unction witheach other. Theycanonly
deploy theirprotect ivefunct ionif,at all times, all
vehicle occupants:
R have fastened theirseatbelts correct ly
(Y page 43)
R have theseat andhead restraint adjusted
properly (Ypage 91) As
the driver, youalso have tomake surethat
the steering wheelisadjusted correctly.
Observe theinformation relatingtothe correct
driver's seatposition (Ypage 91).
You also have tomake surethatanair bag can
inflate properly ifdeploye d(Y page 45).
An airbag supplements acorrect lyworn seat
belt. Asanadditional safetydevice, theairbag
increases thelevel ofprotect ionforvehicle
occupants inthe event ofan accident. Forexam-
ple, if,inthe event ofan accident, theprotect ion
offered bythe seat beltissufficient, theairbags
are not deploye d.When anaccident occurs,only
the airbags thatincrease protectioninthat par-
ticular accident situation aredeploye d.How-
ever, seatbelts andairbags generally donot
protect againstobjectspenetrat ingthe vehicle
from theoutside.
Inform ationonrestraint systemoperation can
be found under "Triggering ofthe Emergen cy
Tensioning Devicesandairbags" (Ypage 52).

When triggered, aseat beltforce limiter helpsto
reduce theforce exertedbythe seat beltonthe
vehicle occupant .
The seat beltforce limiters forthe front seats are
synchron izedwith thefront airbags, which
absorb partofthe deceleration force.Thiscan
reduce theforce exertedon the vehicle occu-
pants during anaccident .

An airbag complements thecorrect lyfastened
seat belt. Itis no substitute forthe seat belt. The
air bag provides additional protection inappli -
cable accident situations.
Not allair bags aredeploy edinan accident. The

ently fromoneanother (Ypage 52).
However, nosystem available today cancom-
pletely eliminate injuriesandfatalities.
It is also notpossible torule outarisk ofinjury
