z the ignition is switched off
z frontal collisions
z accidents in which the vehicle overturns
z collisions involving a rear-impact
z side-on collisions outside the passenger

Control indicator v for airbag systems
The function of the airbag systems is
monitored electronically together with the
seat occupancy recognition 3 and belt
tensioner systems and the deployable
anti-roll bars 3. Their operational
readiness is indicated by a control
indicator v. When the ignition is switched
on, the control indicator illuminates for
approx. 4 seconds. If it does not illuminate,
does not go out after 4 seconds or
illuminates whilst driving, there is a fault in
the airbag systems, seat occupancy
recognition 3 or belt tensioner systems, or
in the deployable anti-roll bars 3, see
page 87. The systems may fail to trigger in
the event of an accident.
Deployment of the airbags is indicated by
continuous illumination of v.

The system's integrated self-diagnostics
allows faults to be quickly remedied.
