Occupant safety
Introduction to the restraint system
The restraint system can reduce the risk ofvehicle occupants coming into contact withparts of the vehicle's interior in the event of anaccident. The restraint system can also reducethe forces to which vehicle occupants are sub-jected during an accident.
The restraint system includes the followingcomponents:
Rseat belt system
Rair bags
The components of the restraint system workin conjunction with each other. They can onlydeploy their protective function if, at all times,all vehicle occupants:
Rhave fastened their seat belts correctly(Ypage 41)
Rhave the seat and head restraint adjustedproperly (Ypage 85)
As the driver, you also have to make sure thatthe steering wheel is adjusted correctly.
Observe the information relating to the correctdriver's seat position (Ypage 85).
You also have to make sure that an air bag caninflate properly if deployed (Ypage 43).
An air bag supplements a correctly worn seatbelt. As an additional safety device, the air bagincreases the level of protection for vehicleoccupants in the event of an accident. Forexample, if, in the event of an accident, theprotection offered by the seat belt is sufficient,the air bags are not deployed. When an acci-dent occurs, only the air bags that increaseprotection in that particular accident situationare deployed. However, seat belts and air bagsgenerally do not protect against objects pene-trating the vehicle from the outside.
Information on restraint system operation canbe found under "Triggering of the EmergencyTensioning Devices and air bags"(Ypage 50).
See "Children in the vehicle" for informationon children traveling with you in the vehicle aswell as on child restraint systems(Ypage 53).
