Safety and Security Occupant safety In this section you will learn the most important facts about the restraint systems of the vehicle. The restraint systems are Seat belts ( page 82) Child restraints ( page 89) Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH) ( page 94) Additional protection is provided by Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) with Air bags ( page 70) Air bag control unit (with crash sensors) Emergency Tensioning Device (ETD) for seat belts ( page 85) Active head restraints ( page 87) Preventive occupant safety (PRE-SAFE®) ( page 86) Air bag system components with Front passenger front air bag off indicator lamp ( page 79) USA only: Front passenger seat with Occupant Classification System (OCS) ( page 75) Canada only: Front passenger seat with BabySmartTM air bag deactivation system ( page 81) As independent systems, their protective functions work in conjunction with each other. The SRS system conducts a self-test when the ignition is switched on and in regular intervals while the engine is running. This facilitates early detection of malfunctions. The 1 indicator lamp in the instrument cluster lights up when the ignition is switched on and goes out no later than a few seconds after the engine has been started. The SRS components are in operational readiness if the 1 indicator lamp is not lit when the engine is running. A malfunction in the system has been detected if the 1 indicator lamp: fails to go out after approximately 4 seconds after the engine was started does not come on at all comes on after the engine was started or while driving i For information on infants and children traveling with you in the vehicle and restraint systems for infants and children, see "Children in the vehicle" ( page 88). 68
