Seat belts

Depending on the version of the model, when

the ignition is switched on, the status display of

the belts ›››Fig.20 informs the driver on the in-

strument panel display whether the occupants

of the rear seats have their seat belts fastened.

Depending on the seat occupancy and the sta-

tus of the seat belts, the following symbols light

up in dierent colours:

The white symbol indicates that the cor-

responding seat is empty.

A green symbol indicates that the seat is

occupied and the occupant is wearing the

seat belt.

A red symbol indicates that the seat is oc-

cupied and the occupant is not wearing

the seat belt.

If a rear seat occupant unfastens his/her seat

belt while driving, the symbol lights up per-

manently in red for that seat. In addition, the

red warning light ﬂashes on the instrument

cluster screen. If you drive faster than approx.

25 km/h (15 mph), an audio signal sounds for a

few seconds.

If a seat belt is fastened or unfastened while

driving in any of the rear seats, the seat belt

status is displayed for approximately 30 sec-

onds.

Head-on collisions and the laws of

physics

a seat belt may be thrown forward violently,

hitting the driver who is wearing the seat belt.

The eects of the laws of physics in the case of

a head-on collision are easy to explain: the mo-

ment a vehicle starts moving, a type of energy

called “kinetic energy” starts acting on both the

vehicle and its passengers.

The amount of “kinetic energy” depends on the

speed of the vehicle and on the weight of the

vehicle and of its passengers. The higher they

are, the more energy there is to be “absorbed”

in the event of an accident.

The most signiﬁcant factor, however, is the

speed of the vehicle. If the speed doubles from

25 km/h (15 mph) to 50 km/h (30mph), for

example, the corresponding kinetic energy is

multiplied by four.

Given that the passengers of the vehicle in our

example do not have their seat belts fastened,

in the event of a collision the entire amount of

the passengers' kinetic energy will be only ab-

sorbed by the mentioned impact.

Even at speeds of 30 km/h (19 mph) to 50 km/h

(30 mph), the forces acting on bodies in a colli-

sion can easily exceed one tonne (1000 kg). At

greater speed these forces are even higher.

Vehicle occupants not wearing seat belts are

not “attached” to the vehicle. In a head-on col-

lision, they will move forward at the same speed

their vehicle was travelling just before the im-

pact. This example applies not only to head-on

collisions, but to all accidents and collisions.

Even at low speeds the forces acting on the

body in a collision are so great that it is not pos-

sible to brace oneself with one's hands. In the
