Safety system
Overview of the safety system
The vehicle is equipped with multiple
safety systems, which cooperate with each
other to provide protection for vehicle oc-
cupants in case of an accident. Based on
the accident, such as impact angle, roll-
over or run off road, the safety system re-
acts differently to provide better
protection.
The safety system includes the following
components:
● Seat belts
● Airbags
● Child restraint system
In order for the safety system to provide
the intended level of protection, vehicle
occupants must observe the following:
● Fasten seat belts correctly.
● Sit in an almost upright position with
the back against the seat backrest.
● Keep your feet on the floor.
● Children under 12-year old and 1.50 me-
ters tall are recommended to use a suit-
able child restraint system. Always
observe the local laws and regulations
for the use of a child restraint system in
the vehicle.
No safety system available today can com-
pletely eliminate injuries and fatalities in
every accident situation. In particular, the
seat belt and airbag generally do not pro-
tect occupants against objects penetrat-
ing the vehicle from the outside. It is also
not possible to completely rule out the risk
of injury caused by airbag deployment.
WARNING Risk of injury or death
from modifications to the safety
system
The safety system can no longer func-
tion correctly after alterations have
been made.
The safety system may not protect the
vehicle occupants as intended. For ex-
ample, it may trigger unexpectedly or
not trigger at all in an accident.
► Never alter the parts of the safety
system.
► Never tamper with the wiring, elec-
tronic components and their
software.
Malfunctioning safety system
When the vehicle is switched on, the indi-
cators
on the driver information dis-
play illuminate and the safety system
performs self-diagnosis. During this proc-
ess, the airbag malfunction lamp
illu-
minates and turns off shortly after the
vehicle is switched on.
A malfunction has occurred in the safety
system if:
● After the vehicle is switched on and the
indicator on the driver information
display illuminates, the airbag malfunc-
tion lamp
does not illuminates.
● The airbag malfunction lamp
illu-
minates continuously or repeatedly
during a journey.
If a malfunction has occurred in the safety
system, contact a smart Authorized Serv-
ice Partner for inspection and repair
immediately.
Functions of the safety system in an
accident
Operation of the safety system depends
on the detected collision strength and
estimated accident type:
● Front collision
● Rear collision
● Side collision
