Belt Force Limiters; Belt Tensioners - HOLDEN TM BARINA Owner's Handbook Manual

34 Seats, restraints
for which they have been
designed. A slack belt will greatly
reduce the protection afforded to
the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing
with polishes, oils and chemicals,
and particularly battery acid.
Belts should not be worn with
straps twisted.
Each belt assembly must only
be used by one occupant. It is
dangerous to put a belt around
a child being carried on the
occupant's lap.
No modifications or additions
should be made by the user which
will either prevent the seat belt
adjusting devices from operating
to remove slack, or prevent the
seat belt assembly from being
adjusted to remove slack.
The belts lock during heavy
acceleration or deceleration for
the safety of the occupants.

Belt force limiters

In the front seats, stress on the body
is reduced by the gradual release of
the belt during a collision.

Belt tensioners

In the event of a front, side or rear
collision of a certain severity, the
driver's and/or passengers safety
belts are tightened.
Warning
Incorrect handling (e.g. removal
or fitting of belts or belt buckles)
can trigger the belt tensioners
with risk of injury.
