Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Deployment Logic - GF91.60-P-0002-08S

Sequence of triggering logic 

In the event of a crash the triggering strategy of the SRS system with the restraint systems control module (N2/7) is determined by the following input parameters:

IMPORTANT For Model 168 there is no buckle recognition system.

IMPORTANT If there is a side impact the front side airbag and rear side airbag (special equipment) (on model 215 and model 220) and window airbag (special equipment) are triggered on the side concerned (exception: when the front passenger's seat is not in use the side airbag on the front passenger's side is not triggered).

IMPORTANT If belt scanning is programmed (not on model 168) (only USA ONLY version) in a head-on collision the driver/front passenger's airbag are already triggered when the 1st triggering threshold is exceeded, if the latch plate is not inserted in the buckle. In this connection the triggering conditions of the driver's and front passenger's seat differ. If buckle scanning is not programmed the driver/front passenger airbag are only triggered when the 2nd triggering threshold is exceeded.

Occupied status of passenger seat occupied and child seat recognition sensor (B48) 

(SBE) active 

Seat not occupied

Seat occupied:

Automatic child seat recognition (ACSR) active 

Child seat detected:

Child seat not detected:

Alignment incorrect:

IMPORTANT The signal child seat recognized overlays the signal seat occupied. (in the case that the child seat reaches a weight of 12 kg /120 mm Ø).

IMPORTANT The deployment logic illustrated in charts 2 and 3 relates to the deployment with buckle recognition for Models 215 and 220.

Model 168 has no buckle recognition.
