Belt tensioner*
Safety for the b b e e l l t t e e d d - - i i n n driver and front passenger is increased by
the belt tensioners fitted to the inertia reels of the front 3 point
seatbelts to supplement the Air Bag.
In the event of serious front collisions, the system is activated by
sensors which trigger a pyrotechnical charge on both belt
automatic retractors.
This makes the devices roll up and tighten the tensioners.
