Belt tensioners

How the belt tensioners work
The seat belts for the driver and front passenger
are equipped with belt tensioners.
Pyrotechnic belt tensioners
The seat belts on the front seats are tensioned
automatically in frontal, side and rear-end im­
pacts above a certain degree of severity. This
helps to reduce the forward motion of the occu­
pants.
In a less severe accident, or in the event of a roll­
over, the belt tensioners are not activated.
A
WARNING
- False activation of the belt tensioner is pos­
sible.
