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 92)
앫 Child restraints (컄 page 95)
앫 Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren (LATCH) (
컄 page 99)
Additional protection potential provide
앫 Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
with
앫 Airbags (컄 page 83)
앫 Airbag control unit (with crash
sensors)
앫 Emergency tensioning device
(ETD) for seat belts (
컄 page 95)
Airbag system components with
앫 Front passenger front airbag off indi-
cator lamp (
컄 page 91)
앫 Front passenger seat with Occupant
Classification System (OCS)
(
컄 page 88)
Although independent systems, their
protective effects work in conjunction
with each other.

traveling with you in the vehicle and restraint
systems for infants and children, see “Children
in the vehicle” (컄 page 95).
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 mal-
functions. 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
Occupant safety
Warning! G
Modifications to or work improperly con-
ducted on restraint systems (such as seat
belts and anchors, emergency tensioning
devices, seat belt force limiters or airbags)
or their wiring, as well as tampering with
interconnected electronic systems, can
lead to the restraint systems no longer
functioning as intended.
Airbags or emergency tensioning devices,
for example, could deploy inadvertently or
fail to deploy in accidents although the de-
celeration threshold for airbag deploy-
ment is exceeded. Therefore, never modify
the restraint systems. Do not tamper with
electronic components or their software.
