Seat belt tensioners

How the seat belt tensioner works
Read the additional information carefully
›››
 page 15.
The seat belts for the occupants in the front
seats are equipped with belt tensioners. Sen-
sors will trigger the belt tensioners only dur-
ing severe head-on, lateral and rear-end col-
lisions and only if the seat belt is worn. This
retracts and tightens the seat belts, reducing
the forward motion of the occupants.
The belt tensioners will not be triggered in the
event of minor collisions, if the vehicle over-
turns, or in accidents where no major forces
act on the vehicle.

Fig. 81.
Note
If the seat belt tensioners are triggered, a
●
fine dust is produced. This is normal and it
is not an indication of fire in the vehicle.
The relevant safety requirements must be
●
observed when the vehicle or components
of the system are scrapped. Specialised
workshops are familiar with these regula-
tions, which are also available to you.
