WARNING
An incorrectly worn seat belt web can
cause severe or fatal injuries in the event of
an accident.
The seat belt cannot offer its full protec-
●
tion unless the seat backrests are in an up-
right position and the seat belt is worn cor-
rectly, according to your size.
Unbuckling your seat belt while the vehi-
●
cle is in motion can cause severe or fatal
injuries in the event of an accident or sud-
den braking.
Note
Seat belts with two buckles include a dia-
gram to show how to fasten the seat belt.

Seat belt tensioners

Seat belts are part of the vehicle's safety fea-
tures and consist of the following important
functions:
Automatic belt retainer
Every seat belt is equipped with an automatic
belt retainer on the shoulder belt. If the belt is
pulled slowly or during normal driving, the
system allows for total freedom of movement
on the shoulder belt. However, during sudden
braking, during travel in mountains or bends
and during acceleration, the automatic belt
retainer on the seat belt is locked is pulled
quickly.
Belt tensioners
The seat belts on the front seats and the out-
er seats of the second row are equipped with
belt tensioners.
Sensors trigger the belt tensioners during se-
vere head-on, lateral and rear collisions and
retract and tighten the seat belts. If the seat
belt is loose, it is retracted to reduce the for-
wards movement of vehicle occupants or
movement in the direction of the collision. The
belt tensioner works in combination with the
airbag system. The belt tensioner will not be
triggered in the event of the vehicle overturn-
ing if the side airbags are not deployed.
If the belt tensioner is triggered, a fine dust is
produced. This is normal and it is not an indi-
cation of fire in the vehicle.
