General

The supplemental restraint system (SRS) is used to provide passive interior protection. The following events can be recorded and differentiated:

Head-on collision
Rear-end collision
Side-on collision

If an accident occurs the relevant airbags and emergency tensioning retractors are triggered, depending on the severity of the detected collision. The following safety devices can be triggered if an accident occurs, depending on the configuration of the vehicle:

Driver airbag
Passenger airbag
Driver sidebag
Front passenger sidebag
Right and left rear sidebags (except code (494a) USA version with code (293) right and left rear sidebags)
Right and left rear sidebags (with code (494a) USA version)
Emergency belt tensioner for driver
Emergency belt tensioner for front passenger
Left rear emergency belt tensioner
Right rear emergency belt tensioner
Right window airbag
Left window airbag

The system monitors itself continuously and notifies the driver of faults immediately via the multifunction display (A1p13) in the instrument cluster (A1). Any faults are stored in the non-volatile memory of the restraint systems control unit (N2/7). The system has a capacitor in the restraint systems control unit (N2/7). If the battery is disconnected the entire system is powered for at least 150 ms.

Function requirements

Circuit 15R ON
Circuit 15 ON

System monitoring

After successful self-test the system continuously monitors the inputs and outputs of the restraint systems control unit (N2/7). System malfunctions are indicated by the airbag indicator and warning lamp (A1e15) in the multifunction display (A1p13) in the instrument cluster (A1). In order to do this the instrument cluster (A1) receives the corresponding message from the restraint systems control unit (N2/7) via the Controller Area Network Bus Class B (interior) (CAN-B).

Sensors

Passenger seat occupancy and child seat recognition system, front passenger seat (B48)
Sidebag and windowbag sensor, left (A53/1)
Sidebag and windowbag sensor, right (A54/1)
Driver seat belt buckle restraint systems switch (S68/3)
Front passenger seat belt buckle restraint systems switch (S68/4)

Seat occupied recognition sensor

If the front passenger airbag is triggered by the restraint systems control unit (N2/7) the data received by the front passenger seat occupied and child seat recognition sensor (B48) and the switching statuses of the driver seat belt buckle restraint systems switch (S68/3) and the front passenger seat belt buckle restraint systems switch (S68/4) are taken into consideration. Under certain circumstances (e.g. certified child seat detected) the restraint systems control unit (N2/7) prevents the airbag and emergency tensioning retractor unit from being triggered at the front passenger side. The function of the child seat recognition system and the deactivation of the front passenger airbag by the child seat recognition system are indicated by the Automatic child seat recognition airbag OFF indicator lamp (N72/1e1).

The airbag units bear the label "SRS Airbag" at their installation location.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis takes place using STAR DIAGNOSIS.

Automatic emergency opening of the central locking (CL) system

A crash sensor is integrated in the rear SAM control unite with fuse and relay module (N10/2) If the vehicle is accelerated > 60 m/sec. ² an unlocking signal is transmitted to the relevant door control unit after a delay of 11 seconds by the rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/2) and executed.

The following control units receive the emergency opening system:

Left front door control module (N69/1)
Right front door control module (N69/2)
Left rear door control unit (N69/3) (except model 203.7)
Right rear door control unit (N69/4) (except model 203.7)

Flashing alarm

In the event of a crash, the hazard warning system is switched on automatically. The restraint systems control unit (N2/7) transmits the crash signal to the rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/2) via the CAN-B. In this case the rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/2) acts as master and cyclically places the turn signal on the CAN-B for the duration of the request. The message is received by the front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/1), the left front door control unit (N69/1) and the right front door control unit (N69/2) and used to actuate the relevant turn signals. The message is read in by the upper control panel control unit (N72/1) and the instrument cluster (A1) in order to provide the driver with optical and acoustic feedback. The hazard warning system can be switched off at any time using the hazard warning system switch (N72/1s5).
