Brake force display
The front airbags help protect the driver and
front passenger by responding to frontal
impacts in which safety belts alone cannot pro-
vide adequate restraint. When needed, the
head and side airbags help provide protection in
the event of side impact. The relevant side air-
bag supports the side upper body area. The
respective head airbag supports the head.
The airbags will purposely not be activated by
every collision, e.g. not by more minor acci-
dents, or rear-end collisions.
The brake lamps light up in two stages,
depending on how heavily you apply the brakes.
Do not apply adhesive materials to the
cover panels of the airbags, cover them or
modify them in any other way.
>
Normal braking:
The brake lamps 1 and the center brake
lamp light up.
Do not attempt to remove the airbag retention
system from the vehicle. Do not modify the indi-
vidual components of the system or its wiring in
any way. This includes the padded covers in the
center of the steering wheel, on the dashboard,
the doors, and the roof pillars as well as the
sides of the headliner. Do not attempt to
remove or dismantle the steering wheel.
Do not touch the individual components
directly after the system has been triggered,
because there is a danger of burns.
>
Powerful braking:
The brake lamps 1 and 2 light up together
with the center brake lamp.
