Activation of emergency tensioning
retractors, belt force limiters and air-
bags
In the event of a collision, the sensor in
the airbag control unit evaluates impor-
tant physical data, such as duration, di-
rection and rate of vehicle deceleration
or acceleration. Based on the evaluation
of this data and depending on the vehi-
cle’s rate of longitudinal deceleration in
a collision, in the first stage, the airbag
control unit pre-emptively triggers the
emergency tensioning retractors.
Warning
G
A malfunction has occurred if the 1
warning lamp:
does not come on when you switch on the
ignition
does not go out after approximately 4 sec-
onds
lights up again
Individual systems may be activated unin-
tentionally or may not be triggered in the
event of an accident with a high rate of ve-
hicle deceleration.

Warning (Continued)
G
In this case, have the SRS system
checked and repaired immediately at a
qualified specialist workshop which has
the necessary specialist knowledge and
tools to carry out the work required.
The manufacturer recommends that you
use an authorized Sprinter Dealer for this
purpose. In particular, work relevant to
safety or on safety-related systems must
be carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.
