The seat belts are equipped with belt tensioners.
All seat belts are tensioned automatically in frontal, side and rear-end impacts above a certain degree of severity or if the vehicle overturns. This helps to reduce the forward motion of the occupants.
- Any work on the tensioner system or removal and installation of system components for other repairs must be performed by a qualified workshop.
- The belt tensioners can only be activated once. If they have been activated at any time, the system must be replaced.
Note
- Some smoke may be released when the belt tensioners are activated. This does not mean there is a fire in the vehicle.
- The relevant safety requirements must be observed when the vehicle or components of the system are scrapped. Your authorised dealer is familiar with these regulations and will be pleased to pass on the information to you.
