front seat vehicle occupant's upper body towards
the center of the vehicle. It does this by rapidly
inating an air cushion in the outer seat side bol-
ster of the seat backrest on the side on which the
impact is anticipated. This increases the distance
between the door and the vehicle occupant.
If PRE-SAFE

R
Activating the hazard warning light system

age on-board electrical system
R

Function of the post-collision brake
Depending on the accident situation, the post-col-
lision brake can minimize the severity of a further
collision or even avoid it.
If an accident is detected, the post-collision brake
can implement automatic braking. When the vehi-
cle has come to a standstill, the electric parking
brake is automatically applied.
The driver can cancel automatic braking by taking
the following actions:
R
Braking more strongly than automatic braking
R
Fully depressing the accelerator pedal with
force
Safely transporting children in the vehicle

vehicle
%
Also strictly observe the safety notes for the
specic situation. In this way, you can recog-
nize potential risks and avoid dangers if chil-
dren are traveling in the vehicle
(/ page 58).
Be diligent
Bear in mind that negligence when securing a
child in the child restraint system may have seri-
ous consequences. Always be diligent in securing
a child carefully before every journey.
Never allow babies and children to travel sitting
on the lap of another vehicle occupant.
