RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FITTING SEAT BELT INERTIA REELS
14340R
Following the triggering of the pretensioners, the
front seat belt or belts must be systematically re-
placed (if there was any doubt about whether the
seat belt was being worn, it must be replaced).
IMPORTANT
These vehicles are fitted with a new passive safety assembly comprising, amongst other components, new
front air bags and specific front seat belts with a new programmed restraint system (SRP).
The programmed restraint system is not calibrated in the same way according to whether the seat belts are
fitted with an SRP air bag or not (the Part Number for each part must be checked before replacement).
It is strictly forbidden:
- to fit new SRP air bag cushions and / or their specific seat belts to vehicles originally fitted with old type
equipment,
- to fit components from an old type system to a vehicle fitted with this new restraint system.
NOTE : for more information on fitting the new SRP seat belts, refer to the instructions below.
New SRP programmed restraint system.
This new force limiter system
L.E.I. is integral in
the inertia reel.
The force limitation applied to the diagonal strap
of the seat belt occurs by controlled release of the
strap (1), ensured by the plastic deformation of a
torsion bar (2) integrated into the inertia reel.
