Three-stage safety system
Comprising:
z Three-point seat belts.
z Belt tensioners at the front seats.
z Airbag systems for driver, front
passenger and outboard rear seats 3.
The three stages are activated in sequence
depending on the severity of the accident:
z The automatic seat belt locking devices
prevent the belt strap from being pulled
out and thus ensure that the vehicle
occupants are retained in their seats.
z The front seat belt buckles are pulled
downwards. As a result, the seat belts
are instantaneously tightened and the
occupants decelerate with the vehicle at
a very early stage, which reduces the
stress placed on the body.
z The airbag systems are also triggered in
the event of serious accidents and form a
safety cushion for the occupants.
Depending on the severity of the
accident, the front airbags inflate in two
stages.

Warning
The airbag systems serve to supplement
the three-point seat belts and belt
tensioners. The seat belts must therefore
always be worn. Disregard of these
instructions may lead to injuries or
endanger life. Vehicle passengers should
be informed accordingly.
Please read the instructions provided with
the child restraint system!
