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
s
eats in the event of a front or side impact.
D
epending on the severity of the impact, the
p
retensioning system instantly tightens the seat
b
elts against the body of the occupants.
The
pretensioning seat belts are active when
t
he ignition is on.
The
force limiter reduces the pressure of the
s
eat belt on the chest of the occupant, so
improving
their protection.
Seat belt reels with reversible
pretension
This system provides automatic adjustment of the tension of the driver's and passenger's seat
b
elts after fastening, once the vehicle's speed
i
s above 6 mph (10 km/h).
In
addition, as soon as the system detects
a
potentially dangerous driving situation,
t
his system reacts by drawing in slack in
t
he belt, (for example, under heavy or sharp
b
raking or sudden avoiding manoeuvres). By
a
utomatically increasing the tension of the
s
eat belts, the system holds the driver and
p
assenger
a
gainst
t
heir

b
ackrests.
Once
the driving situation returns to normal,
t
he belt reel is released: the belt tension returns
t
o the initial level of comfort.
