Occupant safety Restraint systems This section will familiarise you with the most important features of the restraint systems in your vehicle. In the event of an accident, your vehicle may collide with an- other object, e.g. another vehicle. This may cause your vehicle to accelerate or decelerate extremely quickly. During this acceleration or decel[...]

Airbags G Risk of injury Airbags provide additional protection; they are not, however, a substitute for the seat belts.

G Risk of injury The seat belt cannot function correctly if the belt or buckle is dirty or damaged. Keep the belt and buckle clean, otherwise the belt tongue cannot engage correctly. Regularly check the seat belts to make sure that they: I are not damaged I are not routed over sharp edges I are not trapped Otherwise the belt could tear in the event[...]
