Warning!
USE SEAT BELTS PROPERLY
• Seat belts can only work when used
properly. Never wear seat belts in any
other way than as described in this
section, as that could result in serious
injuries in case of an accident.
• Each occupant should wear their seat
belt at all times, because seat belts
help reduce the likelihood of and
potential severity of injuries in
accidents, including rollovers. The
integrated restraint system includes
SRS (driver front air bag, passenger
front air bag, head
thorax air bags)
and Emergency Tensioning Devices
(ETDs) with seat belt force limiters.
The system is designed to enhance the
protection provided by secured seat

belts in certain frontal and side im

pacts.
• Never wear the shoulder belt under
your arm, against your neck or off your
shoulder. Doing so may cause your
body to move too far forward in a fron

tal crash, which would increase the
chance of head and neck injuries. The
seat belt would also apply too much
force to the ribs or abdomen, which
could severely injure internal organs
such as your liver or spleen.
• Never wear seat belts over rigid or
breakable objects in or on your cloth

ing, such as eyeglasses, pens, keys,
etc., as these might cause injuries.
• Position the lap belt as low as possible
on your hips and not across the abdo

men. If the lap seat belt is positioned
across your abdomen, it could cause
serious injuries in a crash.
• Never use a seat belt for more than one
person at time. Do not fasten a single
seat belt around a person and another
person or other objects.
• Seat belts should not be worn twisted.
In a crash, you would not have the full
width of the seat belt to manage impact
forces. The twisted seat belt against
your body could cause injuries.

If an adult occupant is properly sitting on the
passenger seat and the system senses the oc

cupant as being an adult, the57

approximately 4 seconds.
If the seat is not occupied and the system
senses the passenger seat as being empty,
the 57 indicator lamp will

Warning!
When the SRS indicator lamp= and
the57 indicator lamp are lit
at the same time, there is a malfunction in
the Occupant Classification System.
In order to ensure proper operation of
the air bag system and OCS:
• Have the system checked as soon as
possible by qualified technicians. Con

tact an authorized smart center.
• Sit properly belted in a position that is
as upright as possible with your back
against the seat backrest.
• Do not lean on the armrests or lift
yourself from the seat by using the
ha n dl e o ver the do or a s thi s ma y ca use
the OCS to be unable to correctly
approximate the occupant weight
category.
• Only have the seat repaired or
replaced by an authorized smart cen

ter.
• Read and observe all warnings in this
chapter.

Because the ESP
® operates automatically,
the engine must be turned off (key in starter
switch position0) when
• the parking brake is being tested on a
brake test dynamometer,
• the vehicle is being towed with the front
axle raised.
Active braking action through the ESP
® may
otherwise seriously damage the brake system
on the rear axle.
i
The ESP
® wi ll on l y f un cti on p ro p er ly if you
use wheels of the recommended tire size
(

page 299).
Hydraulic brake assistantThe hydraulic brake assistant operates in
emergency situations. If you apply the brakes
very quickly, the hydraulic brake assistant
automatically provides full brake boost,
thereby potentially reducing the braking
distance.
>Apply continuous full braking pressure
until the emergency braking situation is
over.
The ABS will prevent the wheels from
locking.When you release the brake pedal, the brakes
function again as normal. The hydraulic brake
assistant is then deactivated.
G
Warning!
When the hydraulic brake assistant is
malfunctioning, the brake system is still
functioning normally, but without the
additional brake boost that would nor

mally be provided during an emergency
braking maneuver. Therefore, the brak

ing distance may increase.
