Three-stage re straint system
Comprising:
z Three-point seat belts,
z Belt tensioners at the front seats,
z Airbag system s for driv er's seat,
passenger seat 3 and outboard rear
seats 3.
The three stag es are a ctivated in sequence
depending on the seriousness of the
accident:
z The automa tic seat belt locking devices
prevent the belt strap from being pulled
out and thus ensure that the v ehicle
occupants are retained in their seats.
z The front seat b elt buckles are p ulled
downwards. As a result, the seat b elts
are instantaneously tightened and the
occupants are made aware of the
deceleration of the vehicle at a v ery ea rly
stage. This reduces the stress placed on
the body.
z The airbag sy stems a re also triggered in
the ev ent of serious accidents and form a
safety cushion for the occupants.
The airbag sy stems 3 serve to
supplement the three-p oint sea t belts
and belt tensioners. The seat belts must
therefore always be worn. Disregard of
these instructions may lead to injuries or
endanger life. Vehicle p assengers should
be informed accordingly.
