The front passenger sits in such a way that
R
their weight is raised from the seat surface.
* NOTE Deployment of components of the
restraint system when the front passenger
seat is unoccupied
In an accident, the components of the
restraint system may deploy unnecessarily on
the front passenger side if:
There are heavy objects on the front
R

Occupant safety
®
Function of PRE-SAFE (anticipatory occupant
protection)
®
PRE-SAFE is able to detect certain critical driv-
ing situations and implement pre-emptive meas-
ures to protect the vehicle occupants.
PRE-SAFE ® can implement the following meas-
ures independently of each other:
Tightening the seat belts on the driver's seat
R
and front passenger seat.
Closing the side windows.
R
Vehicles with sliding sunroof: closing the slid-
R
ing sunroof.
Vehicles with memory function: moving the
R

PRE-SAFE Sound: provided that the multime-
R
dia system is switched on, generating a brief
noise signal to stimulate the innate protective
mechanism of a person's hearing.
