METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO FRONT SEAT BELTS
These are:
pretensioners,
lap pretensioners (5-door
version only),
chest force limiters,
front passenger and driver's
airbags,
anti-submarining airbags (3-door
version only).
These systems are designed to
operate independently or together
in the event of a front, side, or rear
impact.
Depending on the severity of the
impact, the system can trigger:
- seat belt locking,
- the lap belt pretensioner or the
anti-submarining airbag to keep
the occupant in their seat, the low
volume frontal airbag and force
limiters;
- high volume airbag.

- piston 1 which instantly retracts
the seat belt;
- piston 2 on the front seats (5-door
version), or the antisubmarining
airbag 3 (3-door version).
The pretensioners hold the seat belt
against the body, holding the
occupant more securely against the
seat, thus increasing the seat belt's
efficiency.
