Safety systems
Three-stage restraint system
The system c om prises
z Three-point seat belts.
z Seat belt tensioners.
z
Airbag system for driver.
These stages are activated in sequence
depending on the seriousness of the
accident:
z The automa tic seat belt locking devices
prevent the belt strap from being pulled
out and thus ensure that the v ehicle
occupants are retained in their seats.
z The seat belts are pulled up. As a result,
the seat belts are instantaneously
tightened and the occupants are mad e
aware of the deceleration of the v ehicle
at a very early sta ge. This reduces stress
placed on the body.
z The airb ag system is ad ditionally
triggered in the ev ent of a serious
accident involving a frontal impact and
forms a safety cushion for the driver.
Seat belts
Seat belts are designed to b e used by only
one person at a time. They are only
suita ble for children a ged ov er 12 or taller
than 150 cm .
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.
The airbag system serv es to supplem ent
the three-point sea t belts. The seat belts
must therefore always be worn.

your life!
