The seat belts for the front seats and the side

ar
e equipped
with belt t
ensioners.
The belt t
ensioners ar
e activated by sensors,
although only in severe head-on, lateral and
rear-end collisions. This retracts and tightens
the seat belts, reducing the forward motion of
the occupants.
The belt pre-tensioners work in combination
with the airbag system. In case of overturn,
the pre-tensioners do not activate unless the
head airbags are deployed.
Reversible seat belt tensioning
In specific driving situations, a reversible ten-
sioning of the seat belts might take place

page 22. For example:
●
in the event of sudden brakes
●
in the event of oversteering or understeer-
ing
●
in the event of minor collisions
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 vehicl
e.
●
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.
