Seat belt not fastened / unfastened warning lamps display
A. Front seat belts not fastened / unfastened warning lamp.
B.
Front left seat belt warning lamp.
C.
Front right seat belt warning lamp.
When the ignition is switched on, the warning lamp A
comes on in the
seat belt and passenger's front airbag warning lamp display, if the driver
and/or the front passenger has not fastened their seat belt.
From
approximately 12 mph (20 km/h) this warning lamp flashes for
two
minutes accompanied by an audible signal of increasing volume.
Once these two minutes have elapsed, this warning lamp remains on
until the driver and/or the front passenger fastens their seat belt.
The warning lamp B or C for the corresponding seat comes on in red if
the seat belt is not fastened or is unfastened.
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 o\
r
side impact. Depending 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.
