in the front seat belts. The front seat
belt tensioners are designed to select

designed to reduce maximum reten-
tion force of the driver and the front
passenger during frontal collision.
The back seat passengers fasten
their seat belts similar to the front ones.
The pregnant women should
always use lap and shoulder belts, if
the doctor approves them. The belt
lap part should be as low and com-
fortable as possible.
