RRes estrtraint syst aint system functionality em functionality
When the ignition is switched on, a self-test is per-
formed, during which the 6 restraint system
warning lamp lights up. It goes out no later than a
few seconds a er the vehicle is started. The com-
ponents of the restraint system are then func-
tional.
Malfunctioning r Malfunctioning res estrtraint syst aint system em
A malfunction has occurred in the restraint sys-
tem if:
R
The 6 restraint system warning lamp does
not light up when the vehicle is switched on
R
The 6 restraint system warning lamp lights
up continuously or repeatedly during a journey
&
W WARNING ARNING Risk of injury due to malfunc-
tions in the restraint system
Components in the restraint system may be
activated unintentionally or not deploy as plan-
ned in an accident.
#
Have the restraint system checked and
repaired immediately at a quali ed spe-
cialist workshop.
FFunction of t unction of the r he res estrtraint syst aint system in an accident em in an accident
How the restraint system works depends on the
severity of the impact detected and the apparent
type of accident:
R
Frontal impact
R
Rear impact
R
Side impact
R
Rollover
The activation thresholds for the components of
the restraint system are determined based on the
evaluation of the sensor values measured at vari-
ous points in the vehicle. This process is pre-emp-
tive in nature. The triggering/deployment of the
components of the restraint system must take
place in good time at the start of the collision.
Factors that can be seen and measured only a er
a collision has occurred cannot play a decisive
role in air bag deployment, nor do they provide an
indication of air bag deployment.
The vehicle may be deformed signi cantly without
an air bag being deployed. This is the case if only
parts that are relatively easily deformed are a ec-
ted and the rate of vehicle deceleration is not
high. Conversely, an air bag may be deployed
even though the vehicle su ers only minor defor-
mation. If very rigid vehicle parts such as longitu-
dinal members are hit, this may result in su -
ciently high levels of vehicle deceleration.
Depending on the detected deployment situation,
the components of the restraint system can be
activated or deployed independently of each
other:
R
Emergency Tensioning Device: frontal impact,
rear impact, side impact, rollover
R
Driver's airbag, front passenger airbag: frontal
impact
R
Knee airbag: frontal impact
R
Side airbag: side impact
R
Window airbag: side impact, rollover, frontal
impact
