WARNING
EmergencyTensioning Devices that have
deployed pyrotechnically are no longer opera-
tional and are unable to performtheir inten-
ded protective function.This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Have pyrotechnically triggered Emergency
Tensioning Devices replaced immediately at a
qualified specialist workshop.
An electric motorisused by PRE-SAFE
®
to trig-
ger the tighteningofthe seat belt in hazardous
situations. This procedure is reversible.
If EmergencyTensioning Devices are triggered
or air bags are deployed, you will hear abang,
and asmall amount of powder may also be
released. The 6 restraint system warning
lamp lights up.
Only in rare cases will the bang affect your hear-
ing. The powder that is released generally does
not constitute ahealth hazard, but it may cause
short-term breathingdifficulties in people with
asthma or other respiratory problems. Provided
it is safe to do so, you should leave the vehicle
immediately or open the window in order to pre-
vent breathingdifficulties.
Air bags and pyrotechnic EmergencyTensioning
Devices (ETDs) contain perchlorate material,
which may require special handling and regard
for the environment. National guidelines must
be observed during disposal. In California, see
www.dtsc.ca.gov/HazardousWaste/
Perchlorate/index.cfm.
Method of operation
Duringthe first stage of acollision, the restraint
system control unit evaluates important physi-
cal data relatingtovehicle deceleration or accel-
eration,such as:
R
duration
R
direction
R
intensity
Based on the evaluation of this data, the
restraint system control unit triggers the Emer-
gencyTensioning Devices during afrontal or
rear collision.
An EmergencyTensioning Devicecan only be
triggered, if:
R
the ignition is switched on
R
the componentsofthe restraint system are
operational. You can find further information
under: "Restraint system warning lamp"
(
Y page 37)
R
the belt tongue has engaged in the belt buckle
of the respective seat
If the restraint system control unit detects a
more severe accident, further componentsof
the restraint system are activated independ-
ently of each other in certain frontal collision
situations:
R
Frontair bags as well as driver'sand front-
passenger knee bags
The front-passenger frontair bag is activated or
deactivated dependingonthe person on the
front-passenger seat. The front-passenger front
air bag can only deploy in an accidentifthe
PASSENGER AIR BAGONindicator lamp is lit.
Observe the information on the PASSENGER AIR
BAGindicator lamps (
Y page 38).
Your vehicle has two-stage frontair bags. During
the first deployment stage, the frontair bag is
filled with propellant gas to reduce the risk of
injuries. The frontair bag is fully deployed with
the maximum amount of propellant gas if asec-
ond deployment threshold is reached within a
few milliseconds.
The activation threshold of the EmergencyTen-
sioningDevices and the air bag are determined
by evaluating the rate of vehicle deceleration or
acceleration which occurs at various pointsin
the vehicle. This processispre-emptive in
nature. Deploymentshould take place in good
time at the start of the
collision.
The rat
e of vehicle deceleration or acceleration
and the direction of the forceare essentially
determined by:
R
the distribution of forces during the collision
R
the collision angle
R
the deformation characteristicsofthe vehicle
R
the characteristicsofthe objectwith which
the vehicle has collided
Factors which can only be seen and measured
after acollision has occurred do not play adeci-
sive role in the deployment of an air bag. Nor do
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
