In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impact, the pre-
tensioning
 
device
 
may
 
be
 
deployed
 
before

 
and
 
independently
 
of
 
the
 
airbags.

 
Deployment
 
of
 
the
 
preten
-
sioners
 
is
 
accompanied
 
by
 
a
 
slight
 
discharge

 
of
 
harmless
 
smoke
 
and
 
a

 
noise,
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
activation
 
of
 
the
 
pyrotechnic

 
cartridge
 
incorporated
 
in
 
the

  system.
In
 
all
 
cases,
 
the
