Brake Force Display

The Brake Force Display lights up in two stages
depending on how strongly you brake.
>
Normal braking:
The brake lamps and the third brake lamp
go on.
> Heavy braking and braking with ABS:
In addition, the illuminated area of the rear
brake lamps is enlarged, refer to illustration.
The front airbags help protect the driver and
front passenger by responding to frontal
impacts in which safety belts alone cannot pro-
vide adequate restraint. When needed, the
head and side airbags help provide protection in
the event of a side impact. The side airbag sup-
ports the side upper body area. The head air
bag supports the head.
The airbags are deliberately not triggered in
every impact situation, e.g. less severe acci-
dents, certain rollover conditions, or rear-end
collisions.
For information on the correct sitting position,
refer to page 44.
