Three-stage restraint system
The system comprises
z
Three-point seat belts.
z
Belt tensioners on the front seats.
z
Airbag systems for driver, front
passenger
3
and outb oa rd rear seat
occ upa nts

.
The three stages are activated in sequence
depending on the seriousness of the
accident:
z
The automatic seat belt locking d evices
prevent the belt strap from b eing pulled
out and thus ensure that the vehicle
occ upa nts are retained in their seats.
z
The front seat belt buckles are pulled
downw ards. As a result, the seat belts
are instantaneously tightened and the
occ upa nts are made awa re of the
deceleration of the vehicle at a very early
stage. This reduces stress placed on the
body.
z
The airbag system is additionally
trigg ered in the event of a serious
accident involving a frontal im pact and
forms a sa fety cushion for the driver and
front passenger
3
. The side airbag
system
3
p rotects the occupants in the
front of the vehicle in the event of side-on
collisions.
Three-point seat belts
The vehicle is equipped with three-point
seat belts with automatic retrac tors and
locking d evices, allowing freedom of body
mov ement although the spring tensioned
belts are alwa ys a snug fit.
The belt has a “vehicle sensitive retractor”
which is designed to lock during hea vy
acc eleration or deceleration in any
direction.
In the ev ent of an accident, people not
wearing seat belts endanger their fellow
occupants and them selves.
Seat belts are designed to b e used by only
one person at a time. They are only
suita ble for children a ged up to 12 or
smaller than 150 cm if used in conjunction
with a child restra int.
