Only in the event of such
asituation, will the
air bags provide their supplemental protec-
tion.
The driver and passenger should always wear
their seat belts. Otherwise it is not possible
for the air bags to provide their supplemental
protection.
In case of other types of impacts and impacts
below air bag deployment thresholds, air
bags will not deploy.T he driver and passenger
will then be protected to the extent possible
by ap roperly fastened seat belt. Aproperly
fastened seat belt is also needed to provide
the best possiblep rotection inarollover.
Air bags provide additional protection; they
are not, however, asubstitute for seat belts.
All vehicle occupants must fasten their seat
belts regardless of whether your vehicle is
equipped with air bags or not.
It is important for your safety and that of your
passenger to have deployed air bags replaced and to have any malfunctioning air bags
repaired.T his will help to make sure the air
bags continue to provide supplemental crash
protection for occupants.
Front air bags Driver's air bag
0043deploysinf ront of the
steering wheel; front-passenger front air
bag 0044deploysinf ront of and above the glove
box.
The front air bags increase protection for the driver's and front-passenger's head and
chest. They are deployed:
R in the event of certain frontal impacts
R if the system determines that air bag
deployment can offer additional protection to that provided by the seat belt
R depending on whether the seat belt is being
used
R independently of other air bags in the vehi-
cle
If the vehicle rolls over, the front air bags are
generally not deployed. If the system detects
high vehicle deceleration in alongitudinal
direction, the front air bags are deployed.
Your vehicle has adaptive, two-stage front air bags. In the event of acollision, the air bag
control unit evaluates the vehicle decelera-
tion. When the first deployment threshold is
reached, the front air bag is filled with enough
propellant gas to reduce the risk of injuries.
The front air bag is fully deployed if asecond
deployment threshold is exceeded within a
few milliseconds.
The deployment of the front-passenger front
air bag is also influenced by the weight cate-
gory of the front passenger, which is deter-
mined by the Occupant Classification System
(OCS) (Y page 42).
The front air bags are not deployed in situa-
tions where alow impact severity is pre-
dicted. You will then be protected by the fas-
tened seat belt.
The front-passenger front air bag will only be deployed if:
R the Occupant Classification System (OCS)
has detected that the front-passenger seat
is occupied
R the 00730074 indicator lamp on the center
console is not lit
R the air bag control unit predicts ahigh-
impact severity 40
