30 Occupant safety Occupant safety >> 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.
belts and anchors, Emergency Tensioning Devices, seat belt force limiters or air bags) or their wiring, as well as tampering with interconnected electronic systems, can lead to the restraint systems no longer functioning as intended. Air bags or Emergency Tensioning Devices, for example, could deploy inadvertently or fail to deploy in accidents in which they otherwise should deploy (although the deceleration threshold for air bag deployment is exceeded). Therefore, never modify the restraint systems.
32 Occupant safety that is as upright as possible and the belt is properly positioned on the body. >> Safety. G WARNING Never let more people ride in the vehicle than there are seat belts available. Make sure everyone riding in the vehicle is correctly restrained with a separate seat belt. Never use a seat belt for more than one person at a time. G WARNING Seat belts of a vehicle involved in an accident must be inspected by smart.
keep both feet on the floor in front of the seat. RWhen using a seat belt to secure infant or toddler restraints or children in booster seats, always follow the child seat manufacturer’s instructions. Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs) and seat belt force limiters The seat belts are equipped with Emergency Tensioning Devices and seat belt force limiters.
34 Occupant safety >> Safety. G WARNING To reduce the risk of injury when the front air bags inflate, it is very important for the driver and passenger to always be in a properly seated position and to wear their respective seat belt. For maximum protection in the event of a collision always be in normal seated position with your back against the backrest. Fasten your seat belt and ensure it is properly positioned on your body.
We caution you not to rely on the presence of the air bags in order to avoid wearing your seat belt. It is important to your safety and that of your passenger that you replace deployed air bags and repair any malfunctioning air bags to make sure the vehicle will continue to provide supplemental crash protection for occupants.
36 Occupant safety ! If the air bags are activated, you will >> Safety. hear a loud noise and some dust may be generated. The explosion fundamentally represents no risk to your hearing. An inflated air bag slows down and reduces the movement of the occupant. When the occupant makes contact with a front air bag or head-thorax air bag (cabriolet only), hot gas flows out of the inflated front air bags and head-thorax air bags (cabriolet only). This reduces the load on the occupant’s head and upper body.
The knee bags are designed to provide increased protection for the driver and passenger against the risk of injuries to the knees, thighs and lower legs. The knee bags are located on the lower instrument panel. They are designed to operate together with the front air bags in certain frontal impacts if the system determines that air bag deployment can offer additional protection to that provided by the seat belts. Knee bags operate best in conjunction with a properly positioned and fastened seat belts.
38 Occupant safety Window curtain air bags and thorax-pelvis side air bags (coupé only) >> Safety. G WARNING There is a possibility for a thorax-pelvis side air bag related injury if occupants, especially children, are not properly seated or restrained when next to a thoraxpelvis side air bag which needs to deploy rapidly in a side impact in order to do its job.
Occupant safety Ra high rate of lateral vehicle deceleration or acceleration, and Rthat air bag deployment can offer additional protection to that provided by the seat belt. The thorax-pelvis side air bags are integrated into the driver and passenger seat backrests. If the occupant’s weight is transferred to another object in the vehicle (e.g. by leaning on armrests), the OCS may not be able to properly approximate the occupant’s weight category.
