Seat belts

Functionality
Seat belts that are fastened correctly offer very
good protection in the event of an accident. They re-
duce the risk of an injury and increase the chance of
survival in the event of a major accident.
WARNING
The seat belts must not be removed or altered in
▶
any other way.
Do not attempt to repair the seat belts yourself.
▶
Have a damaged seat belt replaced immediately by
a specialist garage.
Automatic belt retractor
The automatic retractor locks the belt in the event
of a jerky pull on the belt. The belts lock when full
braking, for example when the car accelerates, when
driving downhill and when cornering.
WARNING
If the seat belt does not lock when pulled jerkily,
▶
have the retractor checked by a specialist garage.
Belt tensioners
The safety of the driver, front passenger and passen-
gers on the outer rear seats who are wearing their
seat belts is enhanced by the belt tensioners fitted
to the inertia reels on the front and rear external seat
belts.
If there is a collision with a certain severity, the seat
belt is tightened by the belt tensioner so that unwan-
ted body movement is prevented.
The belt tensioner can also be deployed when the
seat belt is not fastened.
Belt tensioners are not activated in the event of a
roll-over, minor collisions or in accidents in which no
major forces are produced.
Smoke is released when the belt tensioner is de-
ployed. This does not indicate a vehicle.
Reversible belt tensioner
Vehicles with a proactive occupant protection sys-
tem include reversible belt tensioners
The reversible belt pretensioners increase safety for
the belted driver and front passenger by automati-
cally tightening the seat belt tightly over the body in
critical driving situations and then releasing it again.
