When the vehicle 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.

A malfunction has occurred in the restraint sys-

restraint system malfunctions
Components in the restraint system may be
activated unintentionally or not deploy as plan-
ned in an accident. In the event of an acci-
dent, the high-voltage on-board electrical sys-
tem may not be deactivated as intended.
You may su er an electric shock if you touch
the damaged components of the high-voltage
on-board electrical system.

Have the restraint system checked and
repaired immediately at a quali ed spe-
cialist workshop.

A er an accident, switch o the vehicle
immediately.

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 which can only be seen and measured
a er a collision has occurred cannot play a deci-
sive role in airbag deployment. Nor do they pro-
vide an indication of airbag deployment.
The vehicle may be deformed signi cantly without
an airbag being deployed. This is the case if only
parts which are relatively easily deformed are
a ected and the rate of vehicle deceleration is
not high. Conversely, an airbag 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
Seat belt tensioner: frontal impact, rear
impact, side impact, rollover
R
Driver's airbag, front passenger airbag: frontal
impact
R
Knee airbag: frontal impact
