Three-stage safety system

Comprising:
z Three-point seat belts
z Belt tensioners for the front seats
z Airbag systems for driver and front
passenger 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
75
out and thus ensure that the vehicle
76
occupants are retained in their seats.
76
z The front seat belt buckles are pulled
76
downwards. As a result, the seat belts
77
are instantaneously tightened and the
79
occupants are made aware of the
81
deceleration of the vehicle at a very early
stage. This reduces the stress placed on
88
the body.
89
z The airbag systems are also triggered in
91
the event of severe accidents and form a
91
safety cushion for the occupants.

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 must
be informed accordingly.
Thoroughly read the instructions
accompanying the child restraint system!
