Occupant safety

airbag deployment must take place during

the impact and must be adapted to provide

calculated, additional protection for the

vehicle occupants. Not all airbags are

deployed in an accident.

The different airbag systems work inde-

pendently of each other. However, the

deployment of each individual system will

depend on the type of accident determined

by the control system in the first stages of

the collision (head-on collision, side impact

and overturn) and the extent of the acci-

dent (in particular, the vehicle's rate of

deceleration or acceleration).

The rate of vehicle deceleration or accelera-

tion and the direction of the force are basi-

cally determined by:

Rthe distribution of forces during the colli-

sion

Rthe collision angle

Rthe deformation characteristics of the vehi-

cle

Rthe characteristics of the object with which

the vehicle has collided, e.g. the other vehi-

cle

Factors which can only be seen and measured

after a collision has occurred do not play a

decisive role in the deployment of an airbag,

nor do they provide an indication of it.

The vehicle may be deformed significantly,

e. g. on the bonnet or the wing, without an

airbag being deployed. This is the case if only

parts which are relatively easily deformed are

affected and the necessary deceleration does

not occur. Conversely, airbags may be

deployed even though the vehicle suffers only

minor deformations. This is the case if, for

example, very rigid vehicle parts such as lon-

gitudinal body members are affected and suf-

ficient deceleration occurs as a result.

Belt tensioners, belt force limiters

The front seat belts and the outer seat belts

in the rear are equipped with belt tensioners.

If the seat belt is also equipped with a belt

force limiter, the force exerted by the seat

belt on the seat occupant is reduced.

Belt tensioners tighten the seat belts in an

accident, pulling them close against the body.

iBelt tensioners do not correct incorrect

seat positions or incorrectly fastened seat

belts.

Belt tensioners do not pull occupants back

towards the backrest.

The front belt force limiters are synchronised

with the front airbags, which distribute the

forces exerted by the belt force limiters on

the occupant over a greater area.

When the ignition is switched on, the belt ten-

sioner is triggered:

Ronly if the restraint systems are operational

(the 1warning lamp lights up after the

ignition is switched on and goes out once

the engine is running) (Ypage 37)

Rin the event of a head-on or rear-end colli-

sion if the vehicle decelerates or acceler-

ates rapidly in a longitudinal direction dur-

ing the initial stages of impact

If the airbags are deployed, you will hear a

bang and a small amount of powder may also

be released. Only in rare cases will the bang

affect your hearing. The powder that escapes

does not generally constitute a health hazard.

The 1warning lamp lights up.

GRisk of injury

If the seat belt tensioners have been trig-

gered, they provide no additional protec-

tion in the event of another accident. There-

fore, have belt tensioners which have been

triggered replaced at a qualified specialist

workshop.
