SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)

Introduction

RS consists of:

R

The 6 RS warning lamp

R

Air bags

R

The air bag control unit with crash sensors

R

Emergency Tensioning Device for the front

seat belts and the outer seat belts in the

rear

R

Seat belt force limiters for the front seat

belts and the outer seat belts in the rear

RS reduces the risk of occupants coming into

contact with the vehicle's interior in the event

of an accident. It can also reduce the effect

of the forces to which occupants are

subjected during an accident.

SRS warning lamp

WARNING

If SRS is malfunctioning, child restraint

system components may be triggered

unintentionally or might not be triggered at all

in the event of an accident with a high rate of

vehicle deceleration. There is an increased

risk of injury, possibly even fatal.

Have SRS checked and repaired immediately

at a qualified specialist workshop.

SRS functions are checked regularly when

you switch on the ignition and when the

engine is running. Therefore, malfunctions

can be detected in good time.

The 6 SRS warning lamp in the instrument

cluster lights up when the ignition is switched

on. It goes out no later than a few seconds

after the engine is started.

The SRS components are in operational

readiness when the 6 SRS indicator lamp

goes out while the engine is running.

There is a malfunction if:

R

the 6 SRS warning lamp does not light

up when the ignition is switched on

R

the engine is running and the 6 SRS

warning lamp does not go out after a few

seconds

R

the engine is running and the 6 SRS

warning lamp lights up again
