WARNING
Emergency Tensioning Devices that have
deployed pyrotechnicallyare no longer opera-
tionaland are unabletoperform theirinten-
ded protective function. Thisposes an
increasedriskofinjury or evenfatalinjury.
Have pyrotechnicallytriggeredEmergency
Tensioning Devices replaced immediatelyata
qualified specialist workshop.
An electricmotor is used by PRE-SAFE
®
to trig-
ger the tightening of the seatbeltinhazardous
situations. Thisprocedure is reversible.
If Emergency Tensioning Devices are triggered
or airbagsare deployed, youwillhearabang,
and some powder may also be released.The
6 restraint system warning lamp lights up.
Only in rarecaseswillthe bang affect your hear-
ing. The powder that is released generally does
not constitute ahealth hazard,but it may cause
short-term breathing difficulties in peoplewith
asthma or otherrespiratory problems. Provided
it is safetodoso, youshouldleave the vehicle
immediatelyoropenthe window in order to pre-
vent breathing difficulties.
Air bags and pyrotechnic Emergency Tensioning
Devices (ETDs) containperchlorate material,
which may require specialhandling and regard
for the environment. National guidelines must
be observedduring disposal.InCalifornia, see
www.dtsc.ca.gov/HazardousWaste/
Perchlorate/index.cfm.
Methodofoperation
During the firststageofacollision, the restraint
system control unitevaluates important physi-
cal data relating to vehicle deceleration or accel-
eration, such as:
R
duration
R
direction
R
intensity
Basedonthe evaluation of this data, the
restraint system control unittriggers the Emer-
gency Tensioning Devices during afrontalor
rearcollision.
An Emergency Tensioning Device can only be
triggered, if:
R
the ignition is switched on
R
the components of the restraint system are
operational.You can find further information
under "Restraint system warning lamp"
(
Y page 38)

If the restraint system control unitdetects a
more severe accident, further components of
the restraint system are activatedindepend-
ently of each otherincertain frontalcollision

Front airbagsaswellasdriver'sand front-
passenger knee bags
The front-passenger front airbag is activatedor
deactivated depending on the person on the
front-passenger seat. The front-passenger front
airbag can only deploy in an accident if the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is off.
Observe the information on the PASSENGER AIR
BAG indicator lamps (
Y page 39).
Yourvehicle hastwo-stage front airbags. In the
firstdeployment stage, the front airbag is filled
with propellant gas. The front airbag is fully
deployed with the maximum amount of
prop
el-
lant gasifasecond deployment thresholdis
reached within afew milliseconds.
The activation thresholdofthe Emergency Ten-
sioning Devices and the airbagsisdetermined
by evaluating the rate of vehicle deceleration or
acceleration which occurs at variouspoints in
the vehicle.Thisprocess is pre-emptive in
nature. Deployment shouldtake place in good
time at the startofthe collision.
The rate of vehicle deceleration or acceleration
and the direction of the force are essentially
determinedby:
R
the distribution of forcesduring the collision
R
the collision angle
R
the deformation characteristics of the vehicle
R
the characteristics of the object with which
the vehicle hascollided
Factorswhich can only be seenand measured
afteracollision hasoccurred do not play adeci-
siveroleinthe deployment of an airbag.Nor do
they provideanindication of airbag deploy-
ment.
The vehicle can be deformedconsiderably,with-
outanair bagbeing deployed. Thisisthe case if
