air bag must be deployed on time, at the start of

the collision.

The rate of vehicle deceleration or acceleration

and the direction of the force are essentially

determined by:

distribution of the force during the impact

collision angle

deformation characteristics of the vehicle

characteristics of the object with which the

vehicle has collided

Factors which can only be seen and measured

after the collision has occurred do not play a

decisive role in the deployment of an air bag, nor

do they provide an indication of air bag deploy-

ment.

The vehicle may be considerably deformed with-

out an air bag being deployed. This is the case if

only relatively easily deformable parts have

been hit and a high rate of deceleration has not

been reached. Conversely, an air bag may be

deployed even though the vehicle suffers only

minor deformation. This is the case if, for exam-

ple, very rigid vehicle parts such as the longitu-

dinal body members are hit in an accident and

the rate of deceleration is sufficient.

If the restraint system control unit detects a side

impact or that the vehicle is rolling over, the rel-

evant restraint system components are

deployed independently of one another depend-

ing on the anticipated type of accident.

dless of Emergency Tensioning

Device and use of the seat belt on the driver's

side and the outer seats on the second row

The side impact air bag on the front-

passenger side deploys under the following

conditions:

the OCS system detects that the front-

passenger seat is occupied or

the belt tongue has engaged in the belt

buckle of the front-passenger seat.

Window curtain air bag on the side of the col-

lision, regardless of seat belt use and whether

front-passenger seat is occupied

Front Emergency Tensioning Devices, if the

system determines that they can offer addi-

tional protection for the vehicle occupants in

this situation

Rear Emergency Tensioning Devices in cer-

tain situations if the vehicle rolls over

Window curtain air bags on the driver's and

front-passenger sides in certain rollover sit-

uations if the system determines that they

can offer additional protection to that provi-

ded by the seat belt

Not all air bags are deployed in an accident.

The various air bag systems work independ-

ently of each other.

How the air bag system works is determined

by the severity of the accident detected,

especially the vehicle deceleration or accel-

eration, and the apparent type of accident:

frontal collision

side impact

rollover

PRE-SAFE

(anticipatory occupant

protection system)

Introduction

PRE-SAFE

takes preemptive measures to pro-

tect occupants in certain hazardous situations.

Important safety notes

Make sure that there are no objects in the

footwell or behind the seats. There is a danger

that the seats and/or objects could be dam-

aged when PRE-SAFE

is activated.

Despite your vehicle being equipped with the

PRE-SAFE

system, the possibility of personal

injuries occurring as a result of an accident can-

not be eliminated. Always adapt your driving

style to suit the prevailing road and weather

conditions and maintain a safe distance from

the vehicle in front. Drive carefully.

Function

PRE-SAFE

intervenes:

in emergency braking situations, e.g. when

BAS is activated

in critical driving situations, e.g. when physi-

cal limits are exceeded and the vehicle under-

steers or oversteers severely

vehicles with the Driving Assistance package:

when a driver assistance system intervenes

powerfully or the radar sensor system detects

an imminent danger of collision in certain sit-

uations
