Fastening

buckle.

correctly by pulling the strap.

The front seat belts are fitted with a
pretensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly tightens 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 occupant, so
improving their protection.
When the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, if the driver has not
fastened their seat belt.
Seat belt not fastened /
unfastened warning lamp
From approximately 12 mph (20 km/h) this warning
lamp flashes for two minutes accompanied by an
audible signal of increasing volume. Once these
two minutes have elapsed, this warning lamp
remains on until the driver fastens their seat belt.
This warning lamp also comes on in the instrument
panel if the driver and/or front passenger unfastens
their seat belt while driving.
