Defining generic terms clearly
In this Operator's Manual, the following generic
terms are used:
R
Occupant safety: comprises the components
and system functions which help to minimize,
as much as possible, the stresses on and con-
sequences for vehicle occupants during an
accident.
R
Restraint system: comprises those compo-
nents which, along with the vehicle structure,
help prevent vehicle occupants from poten-
tially coming into contact with parts of the
vehicle interior. The seat belts and air bags, for
example, are components of the restraint sys-
tem.
R
Child restraint system: you can find all infor-
mation on this subject in the chapter "Children
in the vehicle" (

Be diligent
For the components of the restraint system to
provide the intended level of protection, it is
essential that the sitting posture is correct and
that the seat belt is correctly fastened.
