Three-stage restraint system

The system comprises
z three-point seat belts
z belt tensioners on the front seats 3
z airbag system for driver and front
passenger 3.
The three stages are activated in sequence
depending on the seriousness 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 are made aware of the
deceleration of the vehicle at a very early
stage. This reduces stress placed on the
body.
z The airbag system is additionally
triggered in the event of a serious
accident involving a frontal impact and
forms a safety cushion for the driver and
front passenger.
