Occupant safety
Introduction to the restraint system
The restraint system can reduce the risk of
vehicle occupants coming into contact with
parts of the vehicle's interior in the event of
an accident. The restraint system can also
reduce the forces to which vehicle occupants
are subjected during an accident.
The restraint system includes the:
R
Seat belt system
R
Airbags
R
Child restraint system
R
Child seat securing system
The components of the restraint system work
in conjunction with each other. They can only
offer protection if all vehicle occupants
always:
R
have the seat belt correctly fastened
(
Y
page 47)
R
have the seat and head restraint adjusted
properly (
Y
page 123)
As the driver, you must also make sure that
the steering wheel is also adjusted properly.
Observe the information on the correct driv-
er's seat position (
Y
page 122).
In addition, you must make sure that the air-
bags can inflate properly if they are deployed
(
Y
page 50).
An airbag supplements a correctly worn seat
belt. As an additional safety device, the airbag
increases the level of protection for vehicle
occupants in the event of an accident. The
airbags are not deployed, for example, in the
event of an accident in which sufficient pro-
tection is offered by the seat belt. In addition,
only those airbags, which in the applicable
accident situations offer additional protec-
tion, are deployed in the event of an accident.
However, the seat belt and airbag generally
do not protect against objects penetrating
the vehicle from the outside.
Information on how the restraint system
operates can be found under "Deployment of
belt tensioners and airbags" (
Y
page 53).
