Location 

The restraint systems control unit is located below the COMAND controller unit (A40/3) on the center tunnel.

Task 

The restraint systems control unit is used to ensure passive occupant protection. If an accident occurs, the restraint systems control unit deploys the restraint systems. These include the airbag units, the ETR units and the buckle emergency tensioning retractors. The restraint systems control unit has self-monitoring and fault monitoring features. Frontal, rear end, and side impacts are recorded, and a distinction is made between the different types of impact. Roll-overs around the longitudinal vehicle axis can also be detected.
