they provide an indication of air bag deploy-

ment.

The vehicle can be deformed considerably, with-

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

only parts which are relatively easily deformed

are affected and the rate of deceleration is not

high. Conversely, air bags may be deployed even

though the vehicle suffers only minor deforma-

tion. This is the case if, for example, very rigid

vehicle parts such as longitudinal body mem-

bers are hit, and sufficient deceleration occurs

as a result.

If the restraint system control unit detects a side

impact or if the vehicle rolls over, the applicable

components of the restraint system are

deployed independently of each other depend-

ing on the apparent type of accident.

Side impact air bags on the side where the

impact takes place, independently of the

Emergency Tensioning Device and the use of

the seat belt on the driver's seat and outer

seats in 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 seat belt buckle tongue is engaged in

the belt buckle of the front-passenger seat

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

Emergency Tensioning Devices, if the system

determines that deployment can offer addi-

tional protection in this situation

Window curtain air 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

Not all air bags are deployed in an accident.

The different 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

In certain hazardous situations, PRE-SAFE

takes pre-emptive measures to protect the vehi-

cle occupants.

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.

Although your vehicle is equipped with PRE-

SAFE

, the possibility of injury in the event of an

accident cannot be ruled out. 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

on vehicles with the Driving Assistance PLUS

package: when Active Brake Assist intervenes

powerfully or the radar sensor system detects

an imminent danger of collision in certain sit-

uations

PRE-SAFE

takes the following measures

depending on the hazardous situation detected:

the front seat belts are pre-tensioned.

if the vehicle skids, the side windows and the

sliding sunroof are closed.

vehicles with the memory function: the front-

passenger seat is adjusted if it is in an unfav-

orable position.

vehicles with a multicontour seat: the air pres-

sure in the side bolsters of the seat backrest

is increased.

If the hazardous situation passes without result-

ing in an accident, PRE-SAFE

slackens the belt

pre-tensioning. On vehicles with multicontour

seats, the air pressure in the side bolsters is

reduced again. All settings made by PRE-SAFE

can then be reversed.
