Have there stra int sy stem checked and
re paired immediately at a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop. Fu
nction of there stra int sy stem in an acci‐
dent How
there stra int sy stem works is de term ined by
th e se verity of the impact de tected and the type
of accident anticipated:
R Frontal impact
R Rear impact
R Side impact
R Rollover
The activation thre sholds forth e components of
th ere stra int sy stem are de term ined based on the
ev aluation of the sensor values measured at vari‐
ous points in theve hicle. This process is pre-
em ptive in nature. The triggering/deployment of
th e components of there stra int sy stem must
ta ke place in good time at thest art of the colli‐
sion.
Fa ctors whi chcan only be seen and measured
af te r a collision has occur red do not play a deci‐
sive role in the deployment of an airbag. Nordo
th ey prov ide an indication of airbag deployment.
The vehicle may be deformed significantly with‐
out an airbag being deplo yed. This is the case if
only parts which are relatively easily deformed
are af fected and thera te ofvehicle deceleration
is not high. Con versely, an airbag may be
deplo yedev en though theve hicle suf fers only
minor deformation. If very rigid vehicle parts such
as longitudinal members are hit, forex ample, this
may result in suf ficiently high le vels of vehicle
deceleration.
The components of there stra int sy stem can
be activated or deplo yed independently of
each other: Component De

WARNING Risk of bu rns from hot air bag
components
The air bag parts are hot af ter an air bag has
been depl oyed. #
Do not touch the air bag parts. #
Have a deplo yed air bag replaced at a
qu alified specialist workshop as soon as
possible. Fo
ryo ur saf ety and that of your passengers, it is
re commended that you ha vetheve hicle towe dto
a qu alified specialist workshop af ter an accident.
Ta ke this into account, particular lyif an Emer‐
ge ncy Tensioning Device is trig gered or an airbag
deplo yed.
If th e Emer gency Tensioning Devices are trig‐
ge red or an airbag is deplo yed, you will hear a
bang, and a small amount of powder may also be
re leased:
R The bang will not general lyaffect your hear‐
ing.
R Ingeneral, the powder released is not hazard‐
ous tohealth but may cause short-term
breathing dif ficulties topersons suf fering
from as thma or other pulmonary conditions.
Pr ov ided it is safe todo so, lea vetheve hicle
immediately or open the window in order to
pr eve nt brea thing dif ficulties.

WARNING Risk of inju ryor death due to
incor rect seat position
If yo u deviate from the cor rect seat position,
th e airbag cann otper form its intended pro‐
te ctive function and deployment may even
cause fur ther injuries.
In order toavo idrisks, each vehicle occupant

as possible.
When doing so, alw ays obser vethe informa‐
tion on the cor rect driver's seat position

R
Always lean against the seat backrest when
th eve hicle is in motion. Do not lean forw ards
or against the door or side windo w.You may
ot herwise be in the deployment area of the
airbags.
R Alwayske ep your feet on thefloor. Do not put
yo ur feet on the cockpit, forex ample. Your
fe et may otherwise be in the deployment area
of the airbag.
R Ifch ildren are tr aveling in theve hicle, obser ve
th e additional no tes (/ page 34).
R Alwaysstow and secure objects cor rectl y.
Objects in theve hicle interior may pr event an air‐
bag from functioning cor rectly. Each vehicle
occupant must alw ays make sure of thefo llowing
in particular:
R There are no people, animals or objects
between theve hicle occupants and an airbag.
R There are no objects between the seat, door
and door pillar (B-pillar).
R There are no hard objects, e.g. coat hangers,
hanging on the grab handles or coat hooks.
R There are no accessory parts, such as mobile
navigation devices, mobile phones or cup
holders, attached totheve hicle within the
deployment area of an airbag, e.g. on the
cockpit, on the door, on the side window or
on the side wall trim.
In addition, no connecting cables, tensioning
st ra ps or retai ning stra ps must be routed or
attached totheve hicle within the deployment
area of an airbag. Alw ays comply with the
accesso rymanufacturer's ins tallation instruc‐
tions and, in particular, the no tes on suitable
places for ins tallation.
R There are no heavy, sharp-edged or fragile
objects in the poc kets of your clo thing. Store
such objects in a suitable place. Limited pr
otection from airbags &
WARNING Risk of inju rydue tomodifica‐
tions tothe airbag co ver
If yo u modify the co ver of an airbag or af fix
objects such as sticke rs to it,the airbag may
no longer function cor rectly. #
Never modify the co ver of an airbag and
do not af fix objects toit. The ins
tallation location of an airbag is identified
by the AIRB AGsymbol (/ page 32). &
WARNING Risk of inju ryor death due to
th e use of unsuitable seat co vers
Un suitable seat co vers can obstruct or pre‐
ve nt the deployment of the airbags integrated
into the seats.
Consequentl y,the airbags cann otprotect
ve hicle occupants as they are designed todo. #
Only use seat co vers that ha vebeen
appr ovedfo ryo ur vehicle bythe sales
or ga nization named on the inside front
co ver. &
WARNING Risk of inju rydue tomalfunc‐
tions of the sensors in the door paneling
Sensors tocontrol the airbags are located in
th e doors. Modifications or worknot per‐
fo rm ed cor rectly tothe doors or door panel‐
ing, as well as damaged doors, can lead to
th e function of the sensors being impaired.
The airbags might therefore not function
proper lyany more.
Consequent ly,th e airbags cann otprotect

Never modify the doors or parts of the
doors. #
Always ha vewo rkon the doors or door
paneling car ried out at a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop. &
WARNING Risk of inju rydue todeplo yed
