Restraint systems
Three-point seat belts with belt height adjustment,
emergency tensioning retractors and belt force
limiters (400 daN) are installed as standard for the
driver and front passenger seats.
In addition, a seat belt reminder function is installed as
standard for the driver seat. If the driver seat belt is
not fastened, an acoustic warning is activated and a
warning symbol appears on the instrument cluster
prompting the driver to fasten his/her seat belt. The
warning is issued at low volume for 30 seconds,
followed by a louder warning lasting 90 seconds. The
radio is muted.
On the Mixto and passenger van, 3-point seat belts are
also standard for the rear bench seat including belt
force limiters (without emergency tensioning retrac-
tors) and ISOFIX child seat attachment.
Thorax sidebag and windowbags
Thorax sidebags for the driver and front passenger are
housed in sides of the backrest of each seat. These
improve protection of the torso in serious accidents
involving a side impact.
The windowbags for the driver and front passenger are
housed in the headliner above the doors on the driver
and front passenger side respectively. In the event of
a major side impact with high lateral acceleration,
sensors cause the windowbags to be triggered down-
wards. The windowbags position themselves like a
curtain in front of the front and rear side windows
within milliseconds.
The standard equipment on the passenger van
includes:
• Driver airbag
• Front passenger airbag
• Windowbag for driver and front passenger
• Thoraxbag for driver and front passenger
On the other variants, only the driver airbag is stan-
dard.
A seat occupied recognition function for the front
passenger seat is not currently available. This means
that the front passenger airbag is triggered in the
event of a crash even if no one is sitting there.
