9 Seat belts
Safety FirstControls and equipment Tips and Maintenance Technical Data
The physical principle of a frontal crash is easy to explain.
As soon as the vehicle is moving, so-called “kinetic energy” is
created by the movement of the vehicle, in the vehicle itself as well
as in the vehicle occupants.
The extent of the “kinetic energy” effect depends largely on the
speed of the vehicle and on the weight of the vehicle and the
vehicle occupants.
The higher the speed and the greater the weight of the vehicle, the
more energy must be dispersed should an accident occur.
The speed of the vehicle is, however, the more important factor. If,
for example, the speed increases from 25 km/h to 50 km/h, the
kinetic energy increases fourfold!
As the vehicle occupants in our example are wearing no seat belts,
their entire kinetic energy can only be dispersed through the crash
into the wall, should a crash occur. The consequences would be
severe or possibly even fatal injuries.
If you are driving at a speed of only 30 km/h to 50 km/h, forces
which can easily exceed 1000 kg are exerted on the body should
an accident occur.
The forces exerted on the body will increase further at higher
speeds, e.g. At twice the speed the forces increase fourfold!
Vehicle occupants not wearing their seat belts are thus not
“linked” to their vehicle.
In a frontal crash, these people will continue to move forward at
the same speed as the vehicle was travelling before the vehicle
crashed!

The danger of not using the seat belt

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.

For the centre rear seat, it must be taken into account that the back of the
seat must be perfectly locked in position for correct functioning ofthe
seatbelt
⇒page 94.
The inertia reel belt gives complete freedom of movement when pulled
slowly. Sudden braking, however, will cause the belt to lock.The mechanism will also lock the belt when accelerating, driving down
steep gradients or cornering.
• Pull belt by the tongue slowly and smoothly across the chest and hips.
• Push the tongue into the locking part of the seal until it engages audibly

To release the belt, press the red button in the lock. The tongue will
then spring out.
Pass the tongue towards the door by hand so that the retractor can
roll the belt up properly. A plastic knob in the belt holds the tongue
in a convenient position.

The centre place on the rear seat is fitted with a lap belt.
The belt lock is used in the same way as on the three point inertia

For safety reasons a lap belt not being used should always be

driver and front passenger is increased by
the belt tensioners fitted to the inertia reels of the front 3 point
seatbelts to supplement the Air Bag.
In the event of serious front collisions, the system is activated by
sensors which trigger a pyrotechnical charge on both belt
automatic retractors.
This makes the devices roll up and tighten the tensioners.

• Smoke is released when the tensioners are activated. This smoke does
not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
• It is extremely important to observe all safety regulations when the
vehicle or any of the system components are scrapped. Technical Service
Centres are familiar with these regulations and can provide the necessary
details.

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.
