The airbags can protect vehicle occupants during frontal and side collisions by reducing their
movement in the direction of the collision.
Each triggered airbag is filled by a gas generator. This causes the airbag covers to break open and the
airbags inflate forcefully to cover their deployment zones within milliseconds. Once a vehicle
occupant wearing a seat belt starts to sink into the inflated airbag, the gas inside the airbag starts to
escape to cushion the occupant and slow down their movement. This reduces the risk of severe and
fatal injuries. A triggered airbag will not always prevent other injuries from occurring, such as
swelling, bruising, burning and grazing. Deployment of an airbag can also result in frictional heat.
The most important factors for triggering the airbag are the type of accident, the angle of impact,
the vehicle speed and the type of object with which the vehicle collides. Therefore, visible damage
to the vehicle does not always mean that the airbag should have been triggered.
The triggering of the airbag system depends on the vehicle deceleration rate caused by the collision
and registered by the electronic control unit. If this rate is below the reference value programmed
into the control unit, the airbags will not be triggered, even though the vehicle may be badly
damaged as a result of the collision. Vehicle damage, repair costs or even the lack of vehicle damage
in an accident is not necessarily an indication of whether an airbag should inflate or not. It is not
possible to define a range of vehicle speeds and reference values, since the circumstances will vary
considerably between one collision and another. It is therefore impossible to cover every possible
kind and angle of impact that would trigger the airbags. Important factors in the triggering of the
airbag include, for example, the nature (hard or soft) of the object that the vehicle hits, the angle of
impact as well as vehicle speed.
Airbags serve only as a supplement to the three-point seat belt in some accident situations when the
vehicle's deceleration is sufficient to trigger the airbags. Airbags can be triggered only once and only
in certain situations. The seat belts are always there to provide protection in situations when the
airbags are not triggered or have already been triggered. For example, if the vehicle collides with a
further vehicle following the initial collision, or is hit by another vehicle.
The airbag system is part of the vehicle's overall passive safety concept. The airbag system can work
effectively only when the occupants are wearing their seat belts correctly and have assumed a
proper sitting position ⇒ Sitting position .
Components of the vehicle safety concept
The following vehicle safety equipment makes up the vehicle's safety concept to reduce the risk of
severe and fatal injuries. Depending on the vehicle equipment level, some of the equipment may not
be fitted in your vehicle or may not be available in some countries.
Optimised seat belts for all seats.
Front airbags for driver and front passenger.
Airbag indicator lamp .
Control units and sensors.
Adjustable steering column.
If applicable, mounting points for the top tether for child seats.

Insert the latch plate into the buckle for the appropriate seat and push it down until it audible locks
into place.
In an emergency
Making you and your vehicle safe
Observe any legislation concerning the safety of a broken-down vehicle. For example, many
countries stipulate that you have to switch on the hazard warning lights and wear a high-visibility
waistcoat ⇒ Equipment for an emergency .
Checklist
To ensure your own safety and that of your passengers, carry out the following actions in the
specified order ⇒ :

Stop the vehicle at a safe distance away from moving traffic and on a suitable surface .

Switch on the hazard warning lights using the button Centre console.

Switch on the electronic parking brake Electronic parking brake.

Select the neutral position Manual gearbox: selecting a gear or move the selector lever to P position
DSG® dual clutch gearbox.

Stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition Starting and stopping the engine.

Ensure that all occupants exit the vehicle and go straight to a safe place away from moving traffic,
e.g. behind the safety barrier. Heed the country-specific regulations concerning high-visibility
waistcoats.

Take all vehicle keys with you when you leave the vehicle.

Set up the warning triangle to draw the attention of other road users to your vehicle.

Allow the engine to cool down and, if necessary, seek expert assistance.

When the hazard warning lights are switched on, for example if you are being towed, you can still
indicate a change in direction or lane change by operating the turn signal. The hazard warning lights
will be interrupted temporarily.
Switch on the hazard warning lights, e.g. in the following situations:
When traffic ahead suddenly starts moving more slowly or you reach the tail end of a traffic jam to
warn vehicles behind you.
There is an emergency situation.
The vehicle has broken down.
When tow-starting or towing.
Always follow local regulations on the use of the hazard warning lights.
If the hazard warning lights are not working, you must use an alternative method of drawing
attention to the broken-down vehicle. This method must comply with traffic legislation.

WARNING
Any broken-down vehicle poses a high accident risk for the vehicle occupants and for other road
users.
Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and when safe to do so.
Park the vehicle at a safe distance from moving traffic.
Switch on the hazard warning lights.
Never leave other persons alone in the vehicle, particularly children or people requiring assistance.
This applies in particular when the doors are locked. People locked in the vehicle may be subjected
to very high or very low temperatures.

WARNING
Ignoring any of the items on this important safety checklist can lead to accidents and severe injuries.
Always follow the instructions in the checklist and observe the general safety procedures.

WARNING
The components of the exhaust system become very hot. This can cause fires and serious injuries.
Park the vehicle so that no part of the exhaust system can come into contact with any inflammable
material underneath the vehicle, e.g. dry grass, fuel.

NOTICE
When pushing the vehicle by hand, do not press on the tail light clusters, the rear spoiler or large
panels. This could damage the vehicle and the rear spoiler could become detached.

The 12-volt vehicle battery will discharge if the hazard warning lights are left on over a long period of
time – even when the ignition is switched off.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, the brake lights flash rapidly if you brake sharply or initiate full
braking at a speed of more than 80 km/h (50 mph). This is a particularly effective way of attracting
the attention of vehicles behind you. If you then continue to brake, the hazard warning lights will be
switched on automatically at speeds under approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). Once you start to
accelerate, the hazard warning lights will switch off again automatically.
