An air bag complements th ec orrectly fastene d

Not all air bags are deployed in an accident. The

However, no system available today can com-

Have pyrotechnically triggered Emergency

to trig-
ger the tightenin goft he seat belt in hazardous
situations. This procedure is reversible.
If Emergenc yT ensioning Devices are triggered
or air bags are deployed, you will hear ab ang,
and as mall amount of powder may also be
released. The u restraint system warning
lamp lights up.
Only in rare cases will the bang affect your hear-
ing. The powder that is released generally does
not constitute ah ealth hazard, but it may cause
short-term breathin gd ifficulties in people with
asthma or other respiratory problems. Provided
it is safe to do so, you should leave the vehicle
immediately or open the window in order to pre-
vent breathin gd ifficulties.
Air bags and pyrotechnic Emergenc yT ensioning
Devices (ETDs) contain perchlorate material,
which may require special handling and regard
for the environment. National guidelines must
be observed during disposal. In California, see
www.dtsc.ca.gov/HazardousWaste/
Perchlorate/index.cfm .
Method of operation Durin gt he first stage of ac ollision, the restraint
system control unit evaluates important physi-
cal data relatin gtov ehicle deceleration or accel-
eration ,s uch as:R
duration R
direction R
intensity
Based on the evaluation of this data, the
restraint system control unit triggers the Emer-
genc yT ensioning Devices during af rontal or
rear collision. An Emergenc yT ensioning Devic ec an only be
triggered, if: R
the ignition is switched on R
the component soft he restraint system are
operational. You can find further information
under: "Restraint system warning lamp"
( Y
page 37) R
the belt tongue has engaged in the belt buckle
of the respective seat
If the restraint system control unit detects a
more severe accident, further component so f
the restraint system are activated independ-
ently of each other in certain frontal collision
situations: R
Fron ta ir bags as well as driver' sa nd front-
passenger knee bags
The front-passenger fron ta ir bag is activated or
deactivated dependin gont he person on the
front-passenger seat. The front-passenger front
air bag can only deploy in an acciden tift he
PASSENGER AIR BA GONi ndicator lamp is lit.
Observe the information on the PASSENGER AIR
BA Gi ndicator lamps ( Y
page 38).
Your vehicle has two-stage fron ta ir bags. During
the first deployment stage, the fron ta ir bag is
filled with propellant gas to reduce the risk of
injuries. The fron ta ir bag is fully deployed with
the maximum amount of propellant gas if as ec-
ond deployment threshold is reached within a
few milliseconds.
The activation threshold of the Emergenc yT en-
sionin gD evices and the air bag are determined
by evaluating the rate of vehicle deceleration or
acceleration which occurs at various point si n
the vehicle. This proces sisp re-emptive in
nature. Deploymen ts hould take place in good
time at the start of the collision.
The rat e
of vehicle deceleration or acceleration
and the direction of the forc ea re essentially
determined by: R
the distribution of forces during the collision R
the collision angle R
the deformation characteristic soft he vehicleR
the characteristic soft he objec tw ith which
the vehicle has collided
Factors which can only be seen and measured
after ac ollision has occurred do not play ad eci-
sive role in the deployment of an air bag. Nor do
they provide an indication of air bag deploy-
ment.
The vehicle can be deformed considerably, with-
out an air bag being deployed. This is the case ifOccupant safety 49
