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 any

passengers 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

to trig-

ger the tightening of the seat belt in hazardous

situations. This procedure is reversible.

If the 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 will light up.

Only in rare cases will the bang affect your hear-

ing. The powder released is generally not haz-

ardous to health, it could however cause short-

term breathing difficulties in people with asthma

or other respiratory problems. If it is safe to do

so, you should leave the vehicle immediately or

open a window in order to prevent breathing

difficulties.

Air bags and pyrotechnic Emergency Tensioning

Devices (ET

Ds) co

ntain perchlorate material,

which may require special handling and regard

for the environment. Check with your local gov-

ernment’s disposal guidelines. California resi-

dents, see www.dtsc.ca.gov/

Method of operation

During the first stage of a collision, the restraint

system control unit evaluates important physi-

cal data relating to vehicle deceleration or accel-

eration, such as:

Duration

Direction

Intensity

Based on the evaluation of this data, the

restraint system control unit triggers the Emer-

gency Tensioning Devices in the event of a fron-

tal or rear-end collision.

An Emergency Tensioning Device can only be

triggered if:

the ignition is switched on

the components of the restraint system are

operational. You can find further information

under "Restraint system warning lamp"

(

Y page 46)

the belt tongue is inserted into the buckle on

the respective front seat

The Emergency Tensioning Devices in the rear

compartment are triggered independently of the

lock status of the seat belts.

If the restraint system control unit detects a high

accident severity, additional components of the

restraint system are deployed independently of

one another in certain frontal collision situa-

tions:

Front air bags and driver's knee bag

Window curtain air bag, if the system deter-

mines that it can offer additional protection to

that provided by the seat belt

Depe

nding on the person occupying the front-

passenger seat, the front-passenger air bag is

activated or deactivated. The front-passenger

front air bag can only be deployed in an accident

if the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp is

lit. Observe the information on the PASSENGER

AIR BAG indicator lamps (

Y page 47).

Your vehicle has dual-stage front air bags. Dur-

ing the first deployment stage, the front air bag

fills with propellant gas which reduces the risk of

injury. The second stage is then triggered within

milliseconds, filling the front air bag with the

maximum amount of propellant gas.

The deployment thresholds for the Emergency

Tensioning Devices and air bags are calculated

on the basis of the vehicle deceleration or accel-

eration occurring at various points in the vehi-

cle. This process is pre-emptive in nature. The
