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
seats in the event of a front or side impact.
dep

ending on the severity of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly 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 occupant, so
improving their protection.
From approximately 12 mph (20 km/h) this warning
lamp flashes for two minutes accompanied by
an audible signal. Once these two minutes have
elapsed, this warning lamp remains on until the driver
and/or the front passenger fastens their seat belt.

In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of the impact , the pretensioning device may
be deployed before and independently of the
airbags.
d
ep
loyment of the pretensioners
is accompanied by a slight discharge of
