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.
