Airbag system The airbag system consists of several
internal systems.
Front airbag system
The front airbag system will be triggered in
the event of a serious accident involving a
frontal impact and forms safety cushions
for the driver and front passenger. The
forward movement of the driver and front
passenger is checked and the risk of
injuries to the upper body and head
thereby substantially reduced.

21
In Brief
Picture no: 14742s.tif
Side airbag system 3
The side airbag is triggered in the event of
a side-on collision to form a safety cushion
for the driver or front passenger in the
respective door area. This substantially
reduces the risk of injury to the upper body
and pelvis.
Picture no: 14127s.tif
Curtain airbag system 3
In the event of a side-on collision, the
curtain airbag system triggers and
provides a safety barrier in the head area
of the vehicle. This considerably reduces
the risk of injury to the head in the event of
a side-on collision.
Airbag System 3 3 67.

Active head restraints
3 on front
seats
In the event of a rear-end impact, the
active head restraints tilt forwards slightly.
The head is more effectively supported by
the head restraint and the risk of whiplash
injury is reduced.
Active head restraints can be recognised
by the word ACTIVE.
