The unbelted passenger in the rear seat

who is wearing a seat belt. The effects of the laws of physics in the case
of a head-on collision ar
e easy t
o expl
ain: the
moment a v ehicl
e st
arts moving, a type of en- ergy called “kinetic energy” starts acting on
both the vehicle and its passengers.
The amount of “kinetic energy” depends onthe speed of the vehicle and on the weight of
the v
ehicle 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

Vehicle interior Introduction
For safety reasons, as we have learned from
accident st
atistics, w
e recommend that chil
-
dr en under 12 years of age tr
av
el in the rear
seats. Depending on their age, height and
weight, children travelling in rear seats must
use a child seat or a seat belt. For safety rea-
sons, the child seat should be installed in the
rear seat, behind the front passenger seat or
in the centre back seat.
The physical laws involved and the forces
acting in a collision apply also to children

Technical data
Empty weight, total weight, axle loads
The empt y w
eight of the v ehicl
e with driv er
(75 k g) w
as calculated according to the (EU)
1230/2012 standard. Optional equipment can
increase the empty weight, which means that
the possible useful load decreases propor-
tionally.
Trailer weight
The maximum permitted drawbar load on the
ball head of the towing device is 80 kg. WARNING
The values indicated for the maximum per-
mitted weights must not be exceeded.
There is a risk of accident and damage! 390
