30 Occupant safety Occupant safety >> Safety. Introduction The smart vehicle is equipped with seat belts and dual stage air bags to protect you in a crash. However, children can be killed or seriously injured by an inflating air bag. Indeed, there is a stronger risk of serious death or bodily injury when an air bag deploys on a child positioned in a rear-facing child seat in the passenger seat.
Occupant safety Modifications to or work improperly conducted on restraint systems (such as seat belts and anchors, Emergency Tensioning Devices, seat belt force limiters or air bags) or their wiring, as well as tampering with interconnected electronic systems, can lead to the restraint systems no longer functioning as intended.
>> Safety. 32 Occupant safety collision. If you slide under it, the belt would apply force at the abdomen or neck, causing serious or even fatal injuries. The seat backrest and seat belt provide the best restraint when the wearer is in a position that is as upright as possible and the belt is properly positioned on the body. G WARNING Never let more people ride in the vehicle than there are seat belts available. Make sure everyone riding in the vehicle is correctly restrained with a separate seat belt.
Occupant safety Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs) and seat belt force limiters The seat belts are equipped with Emergency Tensioning Devices and seat belt force limiters. Emergency Tensioning Devices are designed to activate in the following cases: Rin frontal or rear-end impacts exceeding the system deployment threshold Rif the restraint systems are operational and functioning correctly Rin collisions with high vehicle deceleration/acceleration in the longitudinal direction, e.g.
>> Safety. 34 Occupant safety temporary breathing difficulty for people with asthma or other breathing trouble. To avoid this, you may wish to get out of the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. If you have any breathing difficulty but cannot get out of the vehicle after the air bag inflates, then get fresh air by opening a window or door.
Occupant safety Safety guidelines for the seat belt, Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs) and air bag G WARNING RDamaged seat belts or seat belts that have been highly stressed in an accident must be replaced and their anchoring points must also be checked. Only use seat belts installed or supplied by an authorized smart center. RAir bags and Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs) contain Perchlorate material, which may require special handling and regard for the environment.
36 Occupant safety >> Safety. How an air bag operates An air bag is inflated in a matter of milliseconds. If an air bag is triggered, the SRS indicator lamp 6 in the instrument cluster illuminates. ! If the air bags are activated, you will hear a loud noise and some dust may be generated. The explosion fundamentally represents no risk to your hearing. An inflated air bag slows down and reduces the movement of the occupant.
Occupant safety (2) (3) : Driver’s knee bag ; Passenger knee bag The knee bags are designed to provide increased protection for the driver and passenger against the risk of injuries to the knees, thighs and lower legs. The knee bags are located on the lower instrument panel. They are designed to operate together with the front air bags in certain frontal impacts if the system determines that air bag deployment can offer additional protection to that provided by the seat belts.
Occupant safety G WARNING Only use seat covers which have been tested and approved by smart for your vehicle model. A seat cover must have a deployment control seam for the thorax-pelvis side air bag. Using other seat covers may interfere with or prevent the deployment of the thorax-pelvis side air bags. Contact an authorized smart center for availability. >> Safety.
Occupant safety Ron the impacted side of the vehicle Rin instances with a high rate of lateral vehicle deceleration or acceleration Rindependently of the front air bags Rregardless of whether the seat belt on the impacted side of the vehicle is in use Rindependently of the ETDs. Thorax-pelvis side air bags will generally not deploy in a rollover.
>> Safety. 40 Occupant safety child restraint, or if the passenger seat is sensed as being empty. When the OCS senses that the passenger seat occupant is classified as being up to or less than the weight of a typical 12‑month‑old child in a standard child restraint, the 4 0 indicator lamp will illuminate when the ignition is switched on and remain illuminated, indicating that the passenger front air bag is deactivated.
RIf you install a rear-facing child restraint on the passenger seat, make sure the 4 0 indicator lamp is illuminated, indicating that the passenger front air bag is deactivated. Should the 4 0 indicator lamp not illuminate or go out while the restraint is installed, please check installation. Periodically check the 4 0 indicator lamp while driving to make sure the 4 0 indicator lamp is illuminated.
42 Occupant safety >> Safety. RDo not lean on the armrests or lift yourself from the seat by using the handle over the door as this may cause the OCS to be unable to correctly approximate the occupant weight category. ROnly have the seat repaired or replaced by an authorized smart center. RRead and observe all warnings in this chapter.
Unsecured or improperly positioned cargo increases a child’s risk of injury in the event of Rstrong braking maneuvers changes of direction Ran accident Rsudden Infant and child restraint system We recommend all infants and children be properly restrained at all times while the vehicle is in operation. The passenger lap-shoulder belt has a special seat belt retractor for secure fastening of child restraints.
>> Safety. 44 Occupant safety important information when circumstances require you to place a child in the passenger seat: RYour vehicle is equipped with air bag technology designed to turn off the passenger front air bag in your vehicle when the Occupant Classification System senses the weight of a typical 12‑month‑old child or less along with the weight of an appropriate child restraint on the passenger seat.
The top tether anchorage is located on the floor of the cargo compartment. The top tether guide for the top tether strap is located above, on the head restraint. pull on the seat backrests to ensure they are properly secured in the locked position. If a seat backrest is not properly locked, the seat backrest could fold. The child seat would no longer be properly supported or positioned to provide its intended benefit. That could cause serious or even fatal injuries.
