Three-stage safety system
Comprising:
z
three-point seat belts,
z
belt tensioners at the front seats,
z
airbag systems for the driver,
front passenger
and outboard rear
seats
3
;
for TwinTop
3
,
anti-roll bars
behind the backrests.
The three stages are activated in sequence
depending on the severity of the accident:
z
The automatic seat belt locking devices
prevent the belt strap from being pulled
out and thus ensure that the vehicle
occupants are retained in their seats.
z
The front seat belt buckles are pulled
downwards. As a result, the seat belts
are instantaneously tightened and the
occupants are made aware of the
deceleration of the vehicle at a very early
stage. This reduces the stress placed on
the body.
z
In the event of a severe accident, the
airbag systems and deployable anti-roll
bars
3
also deploy, forming safety
cushions for the occupants. The front
airbags are inflated in two stages based
on the severity of the collision.

Warning
The airbag systems and anti-roll bars

serve to supplement the three-point seat
belts and belt tensioners. The seat belts
must therefore always be worn.
Disregard of these instructions could lead
to injuries or endanger life. Vehicle
passengers must be informed
accordingly.
