tive function. This poses an increased risk of

injury or even fatal injury.

Therefore, have pyrotechnic belt tensioners

which have been triggered immediately

replaced at a qualified specialist workshop.

!

If the front-passenger seat is not occu-

pied, do not engage the seat belt tongue in

the buckle on the front-passenger seat.

Otherwise, the belt tensioner could be trig-

gered in the event of an accident.

i

Vehicles with PRE-SAFE

®

: belt tensioners

that are triggered by an electric motor can

be deployed as often as desired and do not

need to be replaced.

The seat belts are fitted with belt tensioners.

The belt tensioners tighten the seat belts in

an accident, pulling them close against the

body.

Belt tensioners do not correct incorrect seat

positions or incorrectly fastened seat belts.

Belt tensioners do not pull vehicle occupants

back towards the backrest.

The belt tensioners can only be activated

when:

R

the ignition is switched on

R

the restraint systems are operational; see

"SRS warning lamp" (Y page 49)

R

the belt tongue is engaged in the buckle on

each of the three-point seat belts in front

The belt tensioners on the seats in the rear

compartment are triggered independently of

the lock status of the seat belts.

The belt tensioners are triggered depending

on the type and severity of an accident:

R

if, in the event of a head-on or rear-end col-

lision the vehicle decelerates or acceler-

ates rapidly in a longitudinal direction dur-

ing the initial stages of the impact

R

if, in the event of a side impact, on the side

opposite the impact the vehicle deceler-

ates or accelerates rapidly in a lateral direc-

tion

If the airbags are deployed, you will hear a

bang, and a small amount of powder may also

be released. Only in rare cases will the bang

affect your hearing. The powder that is

released generally does not constitute a

health hazard and does not indicate that there

is a fire in the vehicle. The powder may cause

short-term breathing difficulties to persons

suffering from asthma or other pulmonary

conditions. In order to prevent potential

breathing difficulties, you should leave the

vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. You can

also open the window to allow fresh air to

enter the vehicle interior. The 6 SRS warn-

ing lamp lights up.

If the seat belt is also fitted with a belt force

limiter and this is triggered, the force exerted

by the seat belt on the vehicle occupant is

reduced.

The belt force limiters on the front seats are

synchronised with the front airbags, which

take on a part of the deceleration force. This

results in the load being distributed over a

greater area.

Important safety notes

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious or even fatal

injury to the child in the event of a sudden

change in direction, braking or an accident:

R

Children less than 1.50 m tall and under

twelve years of age must always be secured

in special child restraint systems on a suit-

able vehicle seat. This is necessary

because the seat belts are not designed for

children.

R

Do not transport children who are secured

in rearward-facing child restraint systems

on the front-passenger seat. Exception: if

the vehicle is equipped with automatic child

seat recognition on the front-passenger
