Belt force limiters
On the front seats, stress on the body is reduced by the gradual release of
the belt during a collision.Belt pretensioners
In the event of a head-on or rear-end
collision of a certain severity, the front
seat belts are tightened.9 Warning

collision, the fuel system may also be cut-off and the engine switched
off automatically, for safety reasons. Resetting the fuel cut-off system;
refer to "Fuel system messages"

the table 3 57.
Otherwise, there is a risk of fatal
injury for a person occupying a
seat with a deactivated front
passenger airbag.
As long as the control indicator * is
not illuminated, the front passenger
airbag system will inflate in the event
of a collision.
If control indicators * and v are
