Seat belts
Front seat belts
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.  
D

epending   on   the   severity   of   the   impact,   the  
p

retensioning   system   instantly   tightens   the   seat  
b

elts   against   the   body   of   the   occupants.
The
  pretensioning   seat   belts   are   active   when  
t

he   ignition   is   on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt on the chest of the occupant, so
improving
  their   protection.

Airbags
System designed to contribute towards improving   the   safety   of   the   occupants   (with  
t

he   exception   of   the   rear   centre   passenger)  
i

n   the   event   of   violent   collisions.   The   airbags  
s

upplement   the   action   of   the   force-limiting  
s

eat   belts   (with   the   exception   of   the   rear   centre  
p

assenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained
  in   the   impact   detection   zones:
-
 
i
n   the   case   of   a   serious   impact,   the   airbags  
a

re deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
of
  the   vehicle   (with   the   exception   of   the  
r

ear   centre   passenger);   immediately   after  
t

he   impact,   the   airbags   deflate   rapidly   so  
t

hat   they   do   not   hinder   visibility   or   the   exit  
o

f the occupants,
-

i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain
  roll-over   conditions,   the   airbags  
m

ay   not   be   deployed;   the   seat   belt  
a

lone   contributes   towards   ensuring   your  
p

rotection   in   these   situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This
  equipment   will   only   deploy   once.  
I

f   a   second   impact   occurs   (during   the  
s

ame or a subsequent accident), the
airbag
  will   not   be   deployed   again. Deployment of one or more of the
airbags
  is   accompanied   by   a   slight  
e

mission   of   smoke   and   a   noise,   due  
t

o the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge
  incorporated   in   the   system.
This
  smoke   is   not   harmful,   but   sensitive  
i

ndividuals   may   experience   slight  
ir

ritation.
The noise of detonation related to the
deployment
  of   one   or   more   airbags   may  
r

esult   in   a   slight   loss   of   hearing   for   a  
s

hort   time.
