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  
s

eats   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  
s

eat belt on the chest of the occupant, so
improving
  their   protection.
Seat belt reels with reversible
pretension
This system provides automatic adjustment of the   tension   of   the   driver's   and   passenger's   seat  
b

elts   after   fastening,   once   the   vehicle's   speed  
i

s   above   6   mph   (10   km/h).
In
  addition,   as   soon   as   the   system   detects  
a

  potentially   dangerous   driving   situation,  
t

his   system   reacts   by   drawing   in   slack   in  
t

he   belt,   (for   example,   under   heavy   or   sharp  
b

raking   or   sudden   avoiding   manoeuvres).   By  
a
