SEAT BELTS
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pre-
tensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of front impacts. De-
pending on the severity of the impact,
the pretensioning system instantly tight-
ens the seat belts against the body of
the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt on the chest of the oc-
cupant, increasing his protection.
On the 5-door and GTi versions, a slid-
er, fitted on the seat belt, makes it pos-
sible to support the buckle as close as
possible to the strap return.
