R operating statuses of sy stem components
(e.g. fluid le vels, battery status, tire pressure)
R status messages concerning theve hicle and

which is requ ired bylaw. The respective service
network locations or third parties collect, process

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 should
ta ke place in good time at thest art of the colli‐

af te r a collision has occur red cann otplay a deci‐
sive role in airbag deployment. Nordothey pro‐
vide 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.
Depending on the de tected deployment situation,
th e components of there stra int sy stem can be
activated or deplo yed independently of each

R Driver's airbag, co-d rive r airbag: frontal

R Side airbag: side impact
R Window cur tain airbag: side impact, rollo ver,

airbag or window cur tain airbag. &
WARNING Risk of bu rns from hot air bag

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

airbag has been 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‐
