System description 16
Airbag deployment 16
WARNING
An airbag can only offer you optimal protection in combination with a
fastened seat belt.
The airbag is not a substitute for the seat belt, but instead forms part of
the complete passive vehicle safety concept.
To ensure passengers are protected with the greatest possible effect
when the airbag is deployed, the front seats must be correctly adjusted to
match the body size » page 9, Correct and safe seated position.
If you do not fasten the seat belts when driving, lean too far forward or
adopt an incorrect seated position, you are exposing yourself to increased
risk of injury in the event of an accident.
WARNING
Information on the use of the airbag system
If there is a fault, the airbag system must be checked by a specialist ga-
rage immediately. Otherwise, there is a risk of the airbag not being activa-
ted in the event of an accident.
No modifications of any kind must be made to parts of the airbag system.
Any work on the airbag system including the installation and removal of
system components due to other repair work (e.g. removal of the steering
wheel) must only be carried out by a specialist garage.
Never make any changes to the front bumper or bodywork.
It is prohibited to manipulate individual parts of the airbag system as this
might result in the airbag being deployed.
The protective function of the airbag system is sufficient for only one ac-
cident. The airbag system must then be replaced if the airbag has been de-
ployed.
System description
Read and observe on page 16 first.
The functional status of the airbag system is indicated by the indicator light
in the instrument cluster » page 39.
When the airbags are deployed, they fill with gas and inflate.
A grey white or red, non-harmful gas is released when the airbag is inflated.
This is perfectly normal and is not an indication of a fire in the vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the airbag system consists of the
following modules.
Electronic control unit.
Front airbag for the driver and the front passenger » page 17.
Side airbags » page 18.
Head airbags » page 19.
Airbag warning light in the instrument cluster » page 39.
Key switch for the front passenger airbag » page 20.
Warning light for the front passenger airbag deactivation/activation in the
middle of the dash panel » page 20.
Note
The airbag system needs no maintenance during its working life.
If you sell your vehicle, provide the complete vehicle documentation to the
new owner. Please note that the information relating to the possibility of de-
activating the front passenger airbag must be included!
When disposing of vehicle or parts of the airbag system, it is important to
comply with the national legal requirements.
Airbag deployment
Read and observe
on page 16 first.
The airbags inflate in fractions of a second and at a high speed in order to be
able to offer additional protection in the event of an accident.
The airbag system is only functional when the ignition is switched on.
In certain accident situations, the several airbags may be deployed simultane-
ously.
The airbags are not deployed in the case of minor frontal and side collisions,
rear-end collisions, tilting of the vehicle and vehicle rollover.
