10Seat belts
In case of a frontal collision accident, the occupants who are not
belted up are thrown forwards and collide with parts of the vehicle
interior, e.g. the steering wheel, instrument panel or windscreen.
Vehicle occupants who are not belted in may even be thrown out of
the vehicle. This could even lead to serious injuries.
The wide spread opinion that you can protect your body with your
hands in the event of a light accident is not correct. Even at low
speeds of collision, forces which cannot be deflected act on the
body.
It is also important that occupants sitting in the rear seats are
belted in as they can also be thrown out of the vehicle in the event
of an accident. Somebody sitting in the rear and not using a seat
belt is endangering not only himself but also the occupants of the
front seats.
K
Protecting seat belts
Seat belts which are worn properly contribute to the correct seating
position of the vehicle’s occupants. The seat belts help reduce
kinetic energy considerably.
They also prevent uncontrollable movements which can also be the
cause of severe injuries.
Vehicle occupants who wear their seat belts correctly benefit
greatly from the fact that kinetic energy is absorbed by the belt.
The vehicle front structure and other passive safety measures, such
as the Air Bag System, also guarantee a reduction in kinetic
energy. The energy created is thus kept to a low level and the risk
of injury reduced.
Our examples describe frontal crashes. These physical principles
also apply, of course, to other types of accidents and to vehicles
with the Air Bag System.
Thisiswhyyou
m mu
us
st
tput on your seat belt before every journey,
even if you are only going “just around the corner”. Please also
ensure that your passengers are correctly belted in.
You have seen how seat belts function in the case of an accident
on previous pages.
Accident statistics have proven that the risk of injury is reduced
and the chance of survival in a serious accident is increased if the
seat belt is worn properly.
For this reason, the wearing of seat belts is a legal requirement in
most countries.
The correct method of wearing the seat belt, and how the Air Bag
System functions, is described on the following pages.

offers additional protection for the driver’s and passenger’s head
and chest in a serious frontal collision.
In serious lateral collisions the side Air Bags reduce the risk of
injury to the body parts exposed to the danger for the front seat
occupants.
The Air Bag system is not a replacement for the seat belt but a
complementary element of the passive safety concept of the
vehicle. Please note that the best possible protection to be offered
by the Air Bag system can only be effective when the seat belts are
fastened.

• A warning lamp in the instrument panel lights up when the rear fog light is
switched on.
• Due to the amount of dazzle it causes, the rear fog light should only be
switched on when the visibility is very poor (e.g. in some E.U. countries, 50
metres).
The electrical system of the factory fitted tow bar* is wired up so
that when towing a trailer fitted with rear fog lights, the rear fog
light on the towing vehicle are automatically switched off.
