Automatic belt retractors and belt tensioners

This chapter contains information on the following subjects:

Automatic belt retractors
Each seat belt is equipped with an inertia reel.
When pulling slowly on the seat belt, the belt can move freely. When pulling
sharply on the seat belt, the movement is locked by the automatic belt retrac-
tor. The belts also block when full braking occurs, when the car accelerates,
when driving downhill and when cornering.
If the seat belt does not lock when pulling sharply on it, have it inspected
immediately by a specialist garage.
Belt tensioners
Safety for the driver and front passenger wearing their seat belts is enhanced
by the belt tensioners fitted to the automatic belt retractors of the front seat
belts.
If there is a collision of a certain severity, the seat belts are tightened by the
belt tensioner so that any unwanted body motion is prevented.
Belt tensioners are not activated in the event of minor collisions, in the case
of a roll-over and also not in accidents in which no major forces are produced.
