The following list contains examples of incor-
rect sitting positions that could be dangerous
for all vehicle occupants.
When the vehicle is in motion:

Seat belts
The lamp i goes out when the driv er and
passenger seat belts ar e fastened with the
ignition switched on.

on the instrument panel display whether the
occupants of the rear seats have their seat
belts fastened.
It indicates that the corresponding seat
is empty.
Indicates that the seat is occupied and
the occupant is wearing the seat belt.

Seat belts
moment a vehicle starts moving, a type of en-
er gy call
ed “kinetic energy” starts acting on
both the vehicle and its passengers.
The amount of “kinetic energy” depends on
the speed of the vehicle and on the weight of
the vehicle and of its passengers. The higher
they are, the more energy there is to be “ab-
sorbed” in the event of an accident.
The most significant factor, however, is the
speed of the vehicle. If the speed doubles
from 25 km/h (15 mph) to 50 km/h (30 mph),
for example, the corresponding kinetic ener-
gy is multiplied by four.
Given that the passengers of the vehicle in
our example do not have their seat belts fas-
tened, in the event of a collision the entire
amount of the passengers' kinetic energy will
be only absorbed by the mentioned impact.
Even at speeds of 30 km/h (19 mph) to
50 km/h (30 mph), the forces acting on bod-
ies in a collision can easily exceed one tonne
(1000 kg). At greater speed these forces are
even higher.
Vehicle occupants not wearing seat belts are
not “attached” to the vehicle. In a head-on
collision, they will move forward at the same
speed their vehicle was travelling just before
the impact. This example applies not only to
head-on collisions, but to all accidents and
collisions. Even at low speeds the forces acting on the
body in a collision are so gr
eat that it is not
possible to brace oneself with one's hands. In
the event of a head-on collision, vehicle oc-
cupants not wearing a seat belt will be
thrown uncontrollably forward and will col-
lide, for example, against the steering wheel,
instrument panel or windscreen ››› Fig. 7.
It is also important for rear passengers to
wear seat belts properly, as they could other-
wise be thrown forward violently through the
vehicle interior in an accident. If a rear seat
occupant is not wearing a seat belt, they are
not only endangering themselves but also
the occupants of the front seats ››› Fig. 8. How to properly adjust your

Safety
system may fail to trigger, or not trigger
corr
ectly. Airbag activation
The airbags deploy extremely rapidly, within
thousands of a second, t
o pr
ovide additional
protection in the event of an accident. A fine
dust may develop when the airbag deploys.
This is normal and it is not an indication of fire
in the vehicle.
The airbag system is only ready to function
when the ignition is on.
In special accidents instances, several air-
bags may activate at the same time.
In the event of minor head-on and side colli-
sions, rear-end collisions, overturning or roll-
over of the vehicle, airbags do not activate.
Activation factors
The conditions that lead to the airbag system
activating in each situation cannot be gener-
alised. Some factors play an important role,
such as the properties of the object the vehi-
cle hits (hard/soft), angle of impact, vehicle
speed, etc.
Deceleration trajectory is key for airbag acti-
vation. The control unit analyses the collision trajec-
t
ory and activ

ates the respective restraint
system.
If the deceleration rate is below the prede-
fined reference value in the control unit the
airbags will not be triggered, even though the
accident may cause extensive damage to the
car.
The following airbags are triggered in seri-
ous head-on collisions:

Safety
are triggered, respectively ››
› Fig. 13
››› Fig. 14.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the front
airbag system gives the front occupants ad-
ditional protection for the head and chest in
the event of a severe frontal collision ››› .
Their special design all o

ws the controlled es-
cape of the propellant gas when an occu-
pant puts pressure on the bag. Thus, the
head and chest are protected by the airbag.
After the collision, the airbag deflates suffi-
ciently to allow visibility. WARNING

obligatory in emergencies in some countries.
As are the first aid kit and a set of spare light
bulbs.
Depending on the vehicle’s equipment, the
warning triangle can be found in a compart-
ment located under the cover of the load
area of the luggage compartment ››› Fig. 26. First aid kit
The first aid kit must comply with legal r

e-
quirements. Check the expiry date of the
contents of the first aid kit.
Fire extinguisher
A fire extinguisher can be stored in a holder in
the passenger seat footwell.
The fire extinguisher must conform to legal
requirements, be ready for use and be
checked regularly. Check the certification
seal on the extinguisher. WARNING
Loose objects in the vehicle interior can be
viol ently thr

own in case of a sudden ma-
noeuvre or braking and especially in acci-
dents causing serious injury.
