Safety systems

In case of failure the safety system can lower danger injury. The safety system consists of following components:

    Advanced seat belts with трёхточечным fastening on all seats, Terminators of a tension of a seat belt on all seats, натяжители seat belt tapes on lateral seats, Seat belts regulated on height of forward seats, Forward pillows of safety, Lateral pillows of safety in backs of forward and back seats *, Head pillows of safety *, the nests located on back lateral seats ISOFIX * for fastening of children's seats ISOFIX, Headrests regulated on height, Adjustable steering column.

Each time before a start of motion

    Be convinced of full serviceability of illumination and the blinking light-signal device of the car. Check up pressure of air in tyres. Be convinced of that clear and good external visibility through windows of glasses is provided. Reliably fix luggage subjects, Seats and niches see. Be convinced of that no subjects can get to a zone of pedals.

Adjust on growth position of mirrors, position of a forward seat and a headrest.

Instruct passengers concerning necessity of installation on growth of headrests.

For protection of children use a suitable children's seat and correctly impose and fasten a seat belt.

Occupy correct position on a seat. Instruct also your passengers concerning necessity of a correct arrangement on a seat, Seats and niches see.

Correctly impose and fasten a seat belt. Instruct also your passengers concerning necessity correct пристёгивания seat belts.

What influences traffic safety?

It is necessary to remember the following:

Do not distract and do not give to distract itself from the control over road and transport conditions, for example, your passengers, or telephone conversations.

Never get into the car in case of ability infringement to operate the car (for example, as a result of reception of medicines, alcohol, drugs).

Always maintain speed according to a condition проезжей parts, and also traffic conditions of transport and weather conditions.

At long trips regularly (most later in each two hours) do breaks.

Whenever possible do not get into the car tired or when hasten.

Correct position of the driver on a seat

Correct position of the driver on a seat is important for safe and not tiring movement.

The minimum distance of the driver in relation to a steering wheel

Correctly established headrest of the driver

For your safety and danger decrease injury at failure the following variant of adjustment of position of a seat of the driver is recommended:

    So adjust steering wheel position that the distance between a steering wheel and a breast made a minimum 25 see So adjust longitudinal position of a seat of the driver that slightly bent feet it was possible to squeeze out completely a pedal of an accelerator, brakes and couplings. Be convinced that you can get the uppermost point of a steering wheel. So adjust headrest position that the upper edge of a headrest and the top part of your head were on one line. So adjust a back inclination that the back the surface completely adjoined to a back. Correctly impose and fasten a seat belt. Both feet should be in space for feet that you kept control at any time of the car.

Regulation of position of a seat of the driver, see Seats and niches.

Correct position of the forward passenger on a seat

The minimum distance between the forward passenger and the panel of devices should make 25 It see will provide the maximum protective effect in case of disclosing of a pillow of safety.

The following adjustment of position of a seat of the forward passenger is recommended:

    Displace a seat of the forward passenger as it is possible further back. So adjust a back inclination that the back the surface completely adjoined to a back. So adjust headrest position that the upper edge of a headrest and the top part of your head were on one line. Both feet should be in space for feet before a seat of the forward passenger. Correctly impose and fasten a seat belt.

In exceptional cases you can disconnect a pillow of the forward passenger.

Correct position of passengers of back seats

Passengers of back seats should sit directly, hold feet in space for feet and to be correctly fastened seat belts.

For danger decrease injury in case of sudden braking or failure it is necessary for passengers of back seats to remember the following:

    So adjust headrest position that the upper edge of a headrest and the top part of your head were on one line. Both feet should be in space for feet before a back seat. Correctly impose and fasten a seat belt. By transportation children use suitable children's systems of packing and a tension of seat belts.

Correct position of headrests

Correctly established headrests are the important component of the concept of protection of the driver and passengers and in the majority of emergencies can lower danger injury.

Correct the established headrest (front view)

Correctly established headrest (side view)

For achievement of optimum protective effect position of headrests should be correctly adjusted.

So adjust headrest position that the upper edge of a headrest and the top part of your head were on one line.

Regulation of position of headrests, see Seats and niches.

Zone of pedals

To using all pedals never should stir subjects or foot rugs.

    Be convinced that you always can free squeeze out a pedal of an accelerator, a brake and coupling. Be convinced that pedals free come back in a starting position.

Foot rugs which do not come into a zone of pedals and which can be fixed reliably in space for feet are supposed to application only.

In default one of contours of brake system the pedal of a brake for a car stop is required to be squeezed out with the big effort than usually.

Foot rugs from outside the driver

Foot rugs which do not come into a zone of pedals and which can be fixed reliably in space for feet are supposed to application only.

Be convinced of reliable fixing of foot rugs and that during movement they will not interfere with a manipulation pedals.

Foot rugs which do not come into a zone of pedals and which can be fixed reliably in order to avoid them соскальзывания.* are supposed to application only

Correct placing of luggage

Luggage carrier

All subjects of luggage should be reliably placed in a luggage carrier.

Loose subjects moving in a luggage carrier, can negatively influence as a result of change of the centre of gravity dynamic properties of the car or traffic safety.

    Cargo in a luggage carrier distribute in regular intervals, Seats and niches see. Heavy subjects place as it is possible further ahead of a luggage compartment. With the help грузоудерживающей сетки* fix heavy subjects for the lifting eyes located in a luggage carrier.

Air exchange in car salon helps to reduce запотевание glasses. Used air leaves through the ventilating cracks located under back glass. Be convinced, that ventilating cracks have not been covered with what or subjects.

Belts approaching to lifting eyes for luggage fastening can be got in a trading network.

Lifting eyes

Loose cargo represents danger to the driver and all passengers.

In a luggage carrier there are lifting eyes for fastening of subjects of luggage, Seats and niches see.

For reliable fastening of cargo use lifting eyes, luggage carrier Loading in Seat and niche section see.

In case of collision or failure even small and easy subjects can receive so a lot of energy that they can cause extremely serious traumas. "The energy" size depends in very big degree on speed of the car and weight of a subject. However more significant factor is speed of the car.

Example: in the car there is a loose subject in weight of 4.5 kg. In case of face-to-face collision at speed of the car of 50 km/h, the given subject develops the forces corresponding to its twentyfold weight. It means weight increase approximately to 90 kg. You can imagine all picture of traumatic consequences if given "shell" flying on salon gets to someone.

Seat belts

Пристёгивание seat belts with трёхточечным fastening

Fasten a belt and only then begin movement!

Headrest and seat belt position

Seat of the driver: the lock and a belt fastener

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

    Establish correctly forward seat and a headrest and only then fasten a belt, Seats and niches in Seat and niche section see. Undertake a belt fastener, smoothly extend a tape, impose it over a breast and a belt. Insert a fastener into a nest of the corresponding lock before heard click. Necessarily pull for a belt and be convinced that the lock is locked.

Each belt with трёхточечным fastening is completed with the mechanism of automatic retraction of a belt. Automatics of retraction of a belt provides full freedom of movements at its smooth tension. However at sharp braking it blocks a belt. Automatics blocks belts also at car dispersal, at movement on mountain roads and on turns.

Position of tapes of a seat belt with трёхточечным fastening

Position of tapes of a belt is of great importance for protective effect of seat belts.

Position of a diagonal and zone tape of a seat belt

Possibilities of regulation of position of a seat belt on growth:

    Adjustment of height of a belt Regulation of height of forward seats

Пристёгивание seat belts with трёхточечным fastening by pregnant women and position of tapes of a belt

The best protection for the child who has not issued yet is constant and correct пристёгивание a belt the pregnant woman.

Position of tapes of a belt of the pregnant woman

Pregnant women also always should be fastened by belts.

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

    Establish correctly forward seat and a headrest and only then fasten a belt, Seats and niches in Seat and niche section see. Undertake a belt fastener, smoothly extend a tape, impose it over a breast and a belt. Thus the zone tape of a belt should settle down as it is possible more low to hips that there was no pressure upon the bottom part of a stomach. Insert a fastener into a nest of the corresponding lock before heard click. Necessarily pull for a belt and be convinced that the lock is locked.

Adjustment of height of fastening of a belt

The mechanism of adjustment of height of a belt - a cursor with a turnaround buckle

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

    Displace upwards or downwards a cursor with a turnaround buckle that the diagonal tape has appeared approximately at level of the middle of a shoulder, but at all did not cover a neck. After adjustment pull a belt to be convinced of reliability of fixing of a buckle.

For regulation of tapes of belts of forward seats it is possible to use possibility of change of height of seats also.

Regulation of a belt of an average back seat

The average back seat is completed with a zone seat belt.

Belt lengthening

For belt lengthening keep a fastener at right angle concerning a tape and stretch a tape for necessary length.

The given process is facilitated сжиманием fasteners and buckles in a longitudinal direction.

Belt truncation

For truncation it is enough to pull for the free end of a belt. Surplus of a belt is cleaned by displacement of a plastic cursor.

At correctly fastened belt the red button is from an outer side of the lock of a belt.

Отстёгивание seat belts

The belt comes unfastened pressing of the red button of the lock.

Press the red button of the lock. Thus the fastener is pushed out from a nest under the influence of a spring.

For simplification of work of automatics of retraction of belts take away a fastener back a hand.

Long blocking of seat belts

For fastening of a children's seat long blocking of belts with трёхточечным fastening is possible.

For fastening of the children's seat established on a seat of the forward passenger or back seats, long blocking of belts with трёхточечным fastening is possible, Fastening of a children's seat see more low. Such blocking of a belt provides strong fastening of a children's seat in the car.

Натяжители tapes of seat belts

Action principle

At dangerous face-to-face and lateral collisions of a tape of the fastened belts with трёхточечным fastening automatically stretch.

Safety of the fastened driver and passengers raises, in addition to safety pillows, натяжителями the belt tapes, located on mechanisms of automatic retraction of seat belts with трёхточечным fastening.

The system works at dangerous face-to-face collisions from gauges. Thus fastened belts with трёхточечным fastening automatically stretch the Important instructions rather натяжителей tapes of seat belts see more low.

At stronger collisions safety pillows in addition reveal. Натяжители tapes of belts do not work at back collisions and car overturning.

The important instructions rather натяжителей tapes of seat belts

Натяжители tapes of belts do not work at easy face-to-face, lateral and back collisions, in case of car overturning, and also at failures without influence of great strengths in front.

At operation натяжителей tapes of belts the smoke is allocated. The smoke does not testify to car fire.

At recycling of the car or separate components of system necessarily accept safety measures.

The description of pillows of safety

The general instructions on safety pillows

The pillow represents a part of the general concept of passive safety.

At dangerous face-to-face collisions the system of forward pillows of safety together with трёхточечными seat belts provides additional protection of area of a head and a thorax of the driver and the forward passenger.

At strong lateral collisions lateral and head pillows reduce danger of damages of the passengers who are in a zone of blow

Seat belts, along with their traditional protective function, should keep in case of failure the driver and the forward passenger in such position that pillows could reveal and provide additional protection correctly.

Safety systems work only at the included ignition. Readiness of function of pillows is supervised by electronics and deduced on indication by means of a control lamp airbag.

The basic components of system of pillows are

The electronic kontrolno-actuation device (the block of management and sensor controls) both forward pillows lateral and head pillows a control lamp in a control panel.

The following testifies to malfunction of system

At ignition inclusion the control lamp does not light up, the control lamp does not die away after approximately 3 seconds after ignition inclusion, after ignition inclusion the control lamp dies away and lights up again, the control lamp lights up or blinks during movement.

Under what conditions work safety pillows?

Safety pillows work at dangerous collisions.

Pillows of safety of the driver and the forward passenger work at dangerous face-to-face collisions.

At strong lateral collisions lateral pillows work together with a head pillow of the corresponding party of the car.

In special emergencies can work both forward, and lateral pillows together with a corresponding head pillow.

Pillows of safety do not work at easy face-to-face and lateral collisions, arrivals behind and car overturning. In such situations of passengers traditionally protect the fastened seat belts.

Factors of disclosing of pillows

There are no uniform criteria of operation of pillows in each concrete situation. It speaks the extremely different specificity of failures. The important role such factors, as properties of object of collision with the car (firm, soft), for example, play, a collision corner, speed of the car etc.

Solving condition of operation of pillows of safety in case of collision is the delay size. Car sensor controls together with the management block define failure severity level and by that promote purposeful and timely operation of system of packing and a tension of seat belts. Pillows of safety do not work at collision, when size of delay of the car below the programmed sizes of the block of management though owing to failure strong enough deformation of the car is possible.

At надувании pillows the smoke is formed. It normally also does not testify to car ignition.

Forward pillows of safety
