PreCrash system* Ho w it w
orksThe PreCrash system is an assistance system
that activ
es a series of measur

es to protect
the occupants of the vehicles in potentially
risky situations, but which cannot prevent a
collision.
It only works completely if no special driving
profile is selected and if there are no operat-
ing anomalies.
Basic features
Depending on the legal provisions of the
country and the features of the vehicle, in crit-
ical situations (e.g. in certain cases of emer-
gency braking or loss of control of the vehicle
by the driver) the following functions can be
activated separately or at the same time
when the vehicle is travelling faster than ap-
proximately 30 km/h (20 mph).

Airbag system
is not a replacement for driver awareness
and cannot pr
e
vent a collision.

Safety

shoul

ways travel on the rear seat. Nev-
er transport children in the vehicle if they
are not restrained or the restraint system is
not appropriate for their age, size or
weight.

Airbag system
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:
