SEAT BELTS

Front seat belts


The front seat belts are fi tted with a pre-
tensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side im-
pact. Depending on the severity of the
impact, the pretensioning system in-
stantly 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 oc-
cupant, so improving their protection.











Fastening

in the buckle.

)
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.

senger's front airbag warning lamps dis-
play, accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen, if the seat
belt is not fastened or is unfastened.

From approximately 12 mph (20 km/h)

utes accompanied by an audible signal
of increasing volume. Once these two
