Occupant safety
Overview of occupant safety
In this section you will learn the most
important facts about the restraint system
components of the vehicle.
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)
Introduction
The restraint systems are:
SRS reduces the risk of occupants coming
into contact with the vehicle's interior in the
event of an accident. It can also reduce the
effect of the forces to which occupants are
subjected during an accident.
RSeat belts
RChild restraint systems
RLATCH-type (ISOFIX) child seat anchors
Additional protection is provided by:
SRS consists of:
RSRS (Supplemental Restraint System)
RNECK-PRO head restraints
RAir bag system components with:
Rthe6 SRS warning lamp
Rair bags
Rair bag control unit (with crash sensors)
Rbelt tensioners

PASSENGER air bag OFF indicator lamp
USA only: front passenger seat with
Occupant Classification System (OCS)
Rbelt force limiters
-
Canada only: front passenger seat with
BabySmart™ air bag deactivation system SRS warning lamps
The different air bag systems work
independently of each other. The protective
functions of the systems work in conjunction
with each other. Not all air bags are deployed
in an accident.
SRS functions are checked regularly when
you switch on the ignition and when the
engine is running. Therefore, malfunctions
can be detected in good time.
The6 SRS warning lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up when the ignition is switched
on. It goes out no later than a few seconds
after the engine is started.
G Warning
Modifications to or work improperly
conducted on restraint system components
or their wiring, as well as tampering with
interconnected electronic systems, can lead
to the restraint systems no longer functioning
as intended.
The SRS components are in operational
readiness when the6 SRS warning lamp
is not lit while the engine is running.
