Occupant safety
Introduction
The smart vehicle is equipped with seat
belts and dual stage air bags to protect you
in a crash. However, children can be killed or seriously injured by an inflating air
bag. Indeed, there is a stronger risk of
serious death or bodily injury when an air
bag deploys on a child positioned in a
rear-facing child seat in the passenger
seat. Because this vehicle has only two
front seats and no backseat, it is limited as are other two-seat vehicles, in the extent
to which it may restrain children traveling
in the passenger front seat. Many states
have laws against placing children of cer- tain ages in the front seat of a vehicle that
has both front and back seats. Those laws
make exceptions to permit children to be
restrained in the front seat of two seat
vehicles. Special instructions and warn-
ings are provided below about when and if
you may restrain a child in the passenger
seat of the smart vehicle. Under certain
circumstances, it is appropriate for the
passenger air bag not to operate when a
child is restrained in a car seat in the
passenger seat, and this vehicle is equip- ped with technology to accomplish this.
Please pay very close attention to the
instructions and warnings below, particu-
larly as they relate to children.
In this section you will learn the most
important facts about the restraint system components of the vehicle.
The restraint systems are:
R Seat belts (Y page 31)
R Child restraints (Y page 42) Additional protection potential is provi-
ded by:
R Supplemental RestraintSystem (SRS)
with
- Air bags (Y page 33)
- Air bag control unit (with crash sen-
sors)
- Emergency Tensioning Devices and
seat belt force limiters (Y page 33)
R Air bag system components with
- Passenger front air bag off indicator
lamp (Y page 41)
- Passenger seat with OccupantClassi-
fication System (OCS) (Y page 39)
Although independent systems, their pro-
tective functions work in conjunction with each other.
i For information on infants and chil-
dren traveling with you in the vehicle
and restraint systems for infants and
children, see “Children in the vehicle”
(Y page 42).
The SRS system conducts a self-test when
the ignition is switched on and in regular intervals while the engine is running. This facilitates detection of malfunctions. The
SRS indicator lamp 6in the instrument
cluster comes on when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after approx-
imately four seconds.
The SRS components are in operational
readiness if the SRS indicator lamp 6
is not lit when the engine is running.
A malfunction in the system has been detec- ted if the SRS indicator lamp 6
R fails to go out after approximately 4 sec-
onds after the ignition was switched on
R does not come on at all
R comes on after the engine was started or
while driving G

ducted on restraint systems (such as seat 30

seats, always follow the child seat man-
ufacturer’s instructions. Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs)
and seat belt force limiters
The seat belts are equipped with Emer-
gency Tensioning Devices and seat belt
force limiters.
Emergency Tensioning Devices are
designed to activate in the following
cases:
R in frontal or rear-end impacts exceed-
ing the system deployment threshold
R if the restraint systems are operational
and functioning correctly
R in collisions with high vehicle decel-
eration/acceleration in the longitudi-
nal direction, e.g. a head-on collision
R on passenger side when the seat is occu-
pied and the seat belt is fastened
R independently of the front air bags
When activated, Emergency Tensioning
Devices remove slack from the seat belts in such a way that the seat belts fit more
snugly against the body. Seat belt force
limiters, when activated, reduce the force
exerted by the seat belts on occupants dur-
ing a crash.
When the emergency tensioning device is
triggered, the SRS indicator lamp 6in
the instrument cluster illuminates, see
“SRS indicator lamp” (Y page 169).G
WARNING
Once they have been triggered, Emergency
Tensioning Devices will no longer function properly and must be replaced. smart rec-
ommends that you visit a qualified work-
shop to have this done. In particular, work
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys-tems must be carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
Comply with safety regulations when dis-
posing of Emergency Tensioning Devices. These regulations are available at any
smart center.
The belt force limiter is designed to oper- ate in unison with the front air bag, which
absorbs a portion of the seat belt’s decel-
erating forces, distributing the load over
a larger area.
In the event of a head-on or rear-end col-
lision, the emergency tensioning device is
activated if the vehicle is decelerated or
accelerated sufficiently in the longitudi- nal direction at the start of impact with theignition switched on. Air bags
Air bags can reduce the severity of inju-
ries in serious collisions, e.g. in a head-
on collision or a side impact. G
WARNING
Air bags are designed to reduce the poten- tial of injury in certain frontal impacts
(front air bags and knee bags), or side
impacts (head-thorax air bags, window
curtain air bags and thorax-pelvis air
bags) which may cause significant inju-
ries. However, no system available today
can completely eliminate injuries and
fatalities.
The deployment of the air bags temporarily
releases a small amount of dust from the air
bags. This dust is neither injurious to your health, nor does it indicate a fire in the
vehicle. The dust might cause some tempo-
rary breathing difficulty for people with
asthma or other breathing trouble. To avoid
this, you may wish to get out of the vehicle
as soon as it is safe to do so. If you have any
breathing difficulty but cannot get out of
the vehicle after the air bag inflates, then get fresh air by opening a window or door. G
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury when the front
air bags inflate, it is very important for Occupant safety
