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.

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 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.

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.

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

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.
