Belt Tensioners 3 - Vauxhall VIVARO Owner's Manual

Inspection of belts
Periodically inspect all parts of the belt
system for damage and to make sure they
are functioning properly. Have damaged
parts replaced. After an accident,
overstretched belts must be replaced by
new ones. We recommend consulting your
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
Do not perform any alterations on the
belts, their anchorages, the automatic
retractors or the belt buckles.
Make sure that belts are not damaged or
trapped by sharp-edged objects.
Belt tensioners
3
The seat belt systems incorporate belt
tensioners. In the event of a head-on or
tail-end collision the belt buckles are pulled
downwards; the diagonal and lap belts are
instantaneously tightened.
Safety systems
