Vehicle equipment

This chapter describes all standard, country-

specific and special equipment available for

the model series. Therefore equipment

which is not installed in your vehicle, for

example on account of the optional equip-

ment selected or the country specification,

may also be described here. This also ap-

plies to safety-relevant functions and sys-

tems. Comply with the relevant laws and

regulations when using the corresponding

functions and systems.

Airbags

1 Front airbag, driver
2 Front airbag, front passenger

3 Head airbag
4 Side airbag

Front airbags

Front airbags protect the driver and front

passenger in the event of a head-on colli-

sion where the protection of the seat belts

alone would no longer be sufficient.

Side airbag

In a side-on crash, the side airbag supports

the body at the side in the chest and pelvic

area.
