50Seats, restraintsAirbag systemThe airbag system consists of a
number of individual systems
depending on the scope of
equipment.
When triggered, the airbags inflate
within milliseconds. They also deflate
so quickly that it is often unnoticeable during the collision.9 Warning
The airbag system deploys in an
explosive manner, repairs must be performed by skilled personnel
only.
9 Warning
Adding accessories that change
the vehicle's frame, bumper
system, height, front end or side
sheet metal, may keep the airbag
system from working properly. The operation of the airbag system can
also be affected by changing any
parts of the front seats, seat belts,
airbag sensing and diagnostic
module, steering wheel,
instrument panel, inner door seals including the speakers, any of the
airbag modules, ceiling or pillar
trim, front sensors, side impact
sensors or airbag wiring.
Notice
The airbag systems and belt
pretensioner control electronics are
located in the centre console area.
Do not put any magnetic objects in
this area.
Do not affix any objects onto the
airbag covers and do not cover them with other materials. Have damagedcovers replaced by a workshop.
Each airbag is triggered only once.
Have deployed airbags replaced by
a workshop. Furthermore, it may be
necessary to have the steering
wheel, the instrument panel, parts of
the panelling, the door seals,
handles and the seats replaced.
Do not make any modifications to
the airbag system as this will
invalidate the vehicle operating
permit.

156Driving and operatingapproaching a vehicle ahead too
rapidly, it may not provide you
enough time to avoid a collision.
The driver accepts full
responsibility for the appropriate
following distance based on traffic, weather and visibility conditions.
The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. The driver must always be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes.Caution
The colour lighting of this control
indicator does not correspond to
local traffic laws on following
distance. The driver bears full
responsibility for maintaining safe
following distance according to
applicable traffic rules, weather
and road conditions etc. at all
times.
Selecting the alert sensitivity
The alert sensitivity has to be set to
close, normal or distant in the vehicle personalisation menu 3 101.
The chosen setting will remain until it
is changed. The alert timing will vary
based on vehicle speed. The faster
the vehicle speed, the farther away
the alert will occur. Consider traffic
and weather conditions when
selecting the alert timing.
Deactivation The system can only be deactivated
by deactivating the active emergency
braking in the vehicle personalisation
3 101.
System limitations
Forward collision alert is designed to
warn on vehicles only, but may react
also to other objects.In the following cases, forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle ahead or sensor performance is
limited:
● driving on winding or hilly roads
● driving during nighttime
● weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow
● the sensor in the windscreen is blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud,dirt etc.
● the windscreen is damaged or affected by foreign objects, e.g.
stickers
Active emergency braking
Active emergency braking can help to reduce the damage and injury from
crashes with vehicles, pedestrians
and obstacles directly ahead, when a
collision can no longer be avoided
either by manual braking or by
steering. Before the active
emergency braking applies, the driver is warned by the forward collision
alert 3 155 or the front pedestrian
protection alert 3 159.
