ES350 300h_OM_OM33A01U_(U)
■Ceintures de sécurité
Avec un chiffon ou une éponge, nettoyez à l’aide d’un savon doux et de
l’eau tiède. Vérifiez aussi les ceintures régulièrement pour vous assurer
qu’elles ne présentent pas d’usure excessive, d’effilochage ou de cou-
pures.
Entretien et soin
ATTENTION
■Dommages et usure de la ceinture de sécurité
Vérifiez périodiquement le système de ceintures de sécurité. Assurez-vous qu’il
n’y a pas de coupures, d’effilochures ni de pièces desserrées. N’utilisez pas une
ceinture de sécurité endommagée avant qu’elle ne soit remplacée. Les ceintures
de sécurité endommagées ne peuvent pas protéger les occupants contre les bles-
sures graves, voire mortelles.

Votre véhicule est doté de COUSSINS GONFLABLES ÉVOLUÉS dont
la conception s’appuie sur les normes de sécurité des véhicules à moteur
américains (FMVSS208). Le module de capteur de coussin gonflable
(ECU) contrôle le déploiement des coussins gonflables en fonction des
informations obtenues des capteurs et d’autres éléments affichés dans le
diagramme des composants du système ci-dessus. Ces informations
comprennent des données relatives à la gravité de l’impact et aux passa-
gers. Au moment du déploiement des coussins gonflables, une réaction
chimique se produit dans les gonfleurs et les coussins gonflables se rem-
plissent rapidement d’un gaz non toxique pour limiter le mouvement des
occupants.
