Seat belts


Front seat belts


The front seat belts are fitted with apretensioning and force limiting system.
This s
ystem improves safety in the frontseats in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, thepretensioning 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.
From approximately 12 mph (20 km/h) this warninglamp flashes for two minutes accompanied by an audible signal. Once these two minutes have
elapsed, this warning lamp remains on until the driver and/or the front passenger fastens their seat belt.
