Seat belts
Front seat belts
the front seat belts are fitted with a
pretensioning and force limiting system.

belts against the body of the occupants.
the

pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
th

e force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt on the chest of the occupant,
