Occupant safety
In this section you will learn the most im-
portant facts about the restraint systems
of the vehicle.
The restraint systems are
앫 Seat belts (컄 page 76)
앫 Child restraints (컄 page 82)
앫 Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren (LATCH) (
컄 page 86)
Additional protection is provided by
앫 Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
with
앫 Air bags (컄 page 66)
앫 Air bag control unit (with crash
sensors)
앫 Emergency Tensioning Device
(ETD) for seat belts (
컄 page 79)
앫 Active head restraints (컄 page 81)
앫 Preventive occupant safety
(PRE-SAFE
®
) (컄 page 80)
Air bag system components with
앫 Front passenger front air bag off indica-
tor lamp (
컄 page 75)
앫 Front passenger seat with Occupant
Classification System (OCS)
(
컄 page 71)
Although independent systems, their pro-
tective functions work in conjunction with
each other.
The SRS system conducts a self-test when
the ignition is switched on and in regular
intervals while the engine is running. This
facilitates early detection of malfunctions.
The 1 indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out no later than a
few seconds after the engine has been
started.
The SRS components are in operational
readiness if the 1 indicator lamp is not
lit when the engine is running.
A malfunction in the system has been
detected if the 1 indicator lamp:
앫 fails to go out after approximately
4 seconds after the engine was started
앫 does not come on at all
앫 comes on after the engine was started
or while driving
