Seat belts may become damaged during any work on the belt tensioners or while removing or refitting any vehicle parts in conjunction with any
other repair work. This damage will not always be noticeable. The consequence may be that the belt tensioners could function incorrectly, or not

Regulations must be observed to ensure that the effectiveness of the belt tensioner is not reduced and that removed parts do not cause any
injuries or environmental pollution. Qualified workshops are familiar with these requirements.

they are repaired by a non-professional. As a result, the belt tensioners may not be triggered when they should, or they may be triggered
unexpectedly.
