The restraint system can help prevent the vehicle
occupants from coming into contact with parts of
the vehicle interior in the event of an accident. In
the event of an accident, the restraint system can
also reduce the forces to which the vehicle occu-
pants are subjected.
Only a seat belt which is worn correctly can pro-
vide the intended level of protection. Depending on
the detected accident situation, seat belt tension-
ers and/or airbags supplement the protection
o ered by a correctly worn seat belt. Seat belt ten-
sioners and/or airbags are not deployed in every
accident.
Vehicles with a co-driver bench seat: the seat belt
tensioner on the co-driver seat is triggered
whether or not the seat belt tongue is engaged in
the seat belt buckle.
In order for the restraint system to provide the
intended level of protection, each vehicle occupant
must observe the following information:
Fasten seat belts correctly.
R
Sit in an almost upright seat position with their
R
back against the seat backrest.
Sit with their feet resting on the oor, if possi-
R
ble.
Always secure persons under 5
R
in an additional restraint system suitable for
this vehicle.
However, no system available today can completely
eliminate injuries and fatalities in every accident
situation. In particular, the seat belt and airbag
generally do not protect against objects penetrat-
ing the vehicle from the outside. It is also not pos-
sible to completely rule out the risk of injury
caused by the airbag deploying.
