side, when activated, are employed to help
reduce the peak force exerted by the seat
belts on occupants during a crash.
i The ETDs do not correct an incorrect seat
position or incorrectly worn seat belts.
The ETDs do not pull occupants back
toward the seat backrest.
G
Warning!
Pyrotechnic ETDs that were activated must be
replaced.
For your safety, when disposing of the
pyrotechnic ETDs always follow our safety
instructions. These are available at any
authorized F-CELL Service Center.
Active head restraints
The active head restraints are intended to
offer the driver and front passenger increased
protection from whiplash-type injuries. In the
event of a rear-end collision, the active head
restraints are designed to move forward and
up in the direction of travel. They thus provide
the head with increased support earlier on in
the collision sequence.
G
Warning!
Do not attach any objects (e.g. hangers) to the
head restraint posts. Otherwise, the active
head restraints may not be able to function
properly or offer the intended degree of
protection they were designed for in the event
of a rear-end collision.
G
Warning!
For your protection, drive only with properly
positioned head restraints.
Adjust the head restraint so that it is as close
to the head as possible and the center of the
head restraint supports the back of the head
at eye level. This will reduce the potential for
injury to the head and neck in the event of an
accident or similar situation.
For information on head restraint adjustment,
see “Head restraint height” (
Y
page 216), or
see “Head restraint fore and aft adjustment”
(
