Overview of occupant safety
In this section, you will learn the most important facts about the restraint system components of the vehicle.
The restraint system consists of:
• seat belts
• child restraint systems
• LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child seat anchors
Additional protection is provided by:
• SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)
• NECK-PRO head restraints/NECK-PRO
luxury head restraints
• PRE-SAFE®
• Air bag system components with:
- PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
- USA only: front-passenger seat with
Occupant Classification System (OCS)
- Canada only: front-passenger seat with
BabySmart™ air bag deactivation system
The different air bag systems work
independently of each other. The protective
functions of the system work in conjunction
with each other. Not all air bags are deployed
in an accident.
WARNING
Modifications to or work improperly
conducted on restraint system components
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/belt buckle tensioners, for example,
could
deploy inadvertently or fail to deploy.
Therefore, never modify the restraint
systems. Do not tamper with electronic
components or their software.

infants and children traveling with you in
