Deployment of Emergency Tensioning

Devices and air bags

Important safety notes

WARNING

The air bag parts are hot after an air bag has

been deployed. There is a risk of injury.

Do not touch the air bag parts. Have a

deployed air bag replaced at a qualified spe-

cialist workshop as soon as possible.

WARNING

A deployed air bag no longer offers any pro-

tection and cannot provide the intended pro-

tection in an accident. There is an increased

risk of injury.

Have the vehicle towed to a qualified special-

ist workshop in order to have a deployed air

bag replaced.

It is important for your safety and that of your

passenger to have deployed air bags replaced

and to have any malfunctioning air bags

repaired. This will help to make sure the air

bags continue to perform their protective

function for the vehicle occupants in the

event of a crash.

WARNING

Pyrotechnic Emergency Tensioning Devices

that have been deployed are no longer opera-

tional and are unable to perform their inten-

ded protective function. This poses an

increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.

Therefore, have pyrotechnic Emergency Ten-

sioning Devices which have been triggered

immediately replaced at a qualified specialist

workshop.

An electric motor is used by PRE-SAFE

trigger the tightening of the seat belt in haz-

ardous situations. This procedure is reversi-

ble.

If Emergency Tensioning Devices or air bags

are deployed, you will hear a bang, and a small

amount of powder may also be released. The

6 restraint system warning lamp lights up.

Only in rare cases will the bang affect your

hearing. The powder that is released gener-

ally does not constitute a health hazard, but it

may cause short-term breathing difficulties in

people with asthma or other respiratory prob-

lems. To avoid this, you may wish to get out of

the vehicle or open the windows as soon as it

is safe to do so.

Air bags and pyrotechnic Emergency Tension-

ing Devices (ETDs) contain perchlorate mate-

rial, which may require special handling and

regard for the environment. National guide-

lines must be observed during disposal. In

California, see www.dtsc.ca.gov/

HazardousWaste/Perchlorate/

index.cfm.

Method of operation

During the first stage of a collision, the

restraint system control unit evaluates impor-

tant physical data relating to vehicle deceler-

ation or acceleration, such as:

duration

direction

intensity

Based on the evaluation of this data, the

restraint system control unit deploys the

Emergency Tensioning Devices during a fron-

tal or rear collision.

An Emergency Tensioning Device can only be

deployed, if:

the ignition is switched on

the components of the restraint system are

operational; see "Restraint system warning

lamp" (Y page 43)

the belt tongue is engaged in the buckle on

the respective front-passenger seat

The Emergency Tensioning Devices in the

rear compartment are deployed independ-

ently of the lock status of the seat belts.
