If the restraint system control unit detects a

side impact or that the vehicle is rolling over,

the relevant restraint system components are

activated independently of one another

depending on the apparent type of accident.

If the system determines a need for additional

protection for the vehicle occupants, the

Emergency Tensioning Devices are triggered.

R

Side impact air bags and pelvis air bag on

the side of impact, independently of the

Emergency Tensioning Device and the use

of the seat belt on the driver's seat and in

the rear compartment seats

Cabriolet: if the vehicle rolls over, the side

impact air bags and pelvis air bags are not

deployed.

The side impact air bag on the front-

passenger side (front) deploys in the fol-

lowing situations:

-

the OCS system detects that the front-

passenger seat is occupied or

-

the belt tongue is engaged in the belt

buckle of the front-passenger seat

R

Coupe: window curtain air bag on the side

of impact, independently of the use of the

seat belt and independently of whether the

front-passenger seat is occupied

R

Cabriolet: head bag on the side of impact,

independently of the use of the seat belt

and independently of whether the front-

passenger seat is occupied

R

Coupe: window curtain air bags on the driv-

er's and front-passenger side in certain sit-

uations when the vehicle rolls over, if the

system determines that deployment can

offer additional protection to that provided

by the seat belt

R

Cabriolet: head bags on the driver's and

front-passenger side in certain situations

when the vehicle rolls over, if the system

determines that deployment can offer addi-

tional protection to that provided by the

seat belt

i

Not all air bags are deployed in an acci-

dent. The different air bag systems work

independently of each other.

How the air bag system works is deter-

mined by the severity of the accident detec-

ted, especially the vehicle deceleration or

acceleration and the apparent type of acci-

dent:

R

frontal collision

R

side impact

R

rollover

NECK-PRO head restraints

Important safety notes

G

WARNING

The function of the head restraint may be

impaired if you:

R

attach objects such as coat hangers to the

head restraints, for example

R

use head restraint covers

If you do so, the head restraints cannot fulfill

their intended protective function in the event

of an accident. In addition, objects attached

to the head restraints could endanger other

vehicle occupants. There is an increased risk

of injury.

Do not attach any objects to the head

restraints and do not use head restraint cov-

ers.

Method of operation

NECK-PRO head restraints reduce the likeli-

hood of head and chest injuries. The NECK-

PRO head restraints on the driver's and front-

passenger seats are moved forwards and

upwards in the event of a rear-end collision of

a certain severity. This provides better head

support.

If the NECK-PRO head restraints have been

triggered in an accident, you must reset the

NECK-PRO head restraints on the driver’s and

front-passenger seat (Y page 63). Other-
