Polestar 2 2020, Manual

Page: 35 / 568

WARNING
• Always insert the tongue of the seat-
belt into the buckle on the correct side.
The seatbelts and buckles would oth-
erwise possibly not function as
intended in the event of a collision.
There is a risk of serous injury.
• Each seatbelt is designed for only one
person.
• Remember not to clip or hook the seat-
belt to hooks or other interior fittings,
as this prevents the belt from tighten-
ing properly.
• Do not make any damages on seat-
belts nor insert any foreign objects into
a buckle. The seatbelts and buckles
would then possibly not function as
intended in the event of a collision.
There is a risk of serous injury.
NOTE
The seatbelt is equipped with an inertia
reel that is locked in the following situa-
tions:
• if the belt is extended too quickly.
• during braking and acceleration.
• if the car leans heavily.
• when driving in bends.
Seatbelt tensioner
The car is fitted with standard seatbelt tension-
ers and electric seatbelt tensioners that can ten-
sion the seatbelts in critical situations and colli-
sions.
Standard seatbelt tensioner
The seatbelts in the front seat and the outer
seats in the rear seat are equipped with stand-
ard belt pretensioners.
The seatbelt tensioner tensions the seatbelt in
the event of a collision with sufficient force in
order to more effectively restrain the occupant.
Electric belt pretensioners
The driver and front passenger seatbelts are
equipped with an electric seatbelt tensioner.
The seatbelt tensioners work together and can
be activated together with the driver support
systems of assistance at risk of collision and
Rear Collision Warning. In critical situations,
such as panic braking, driving off the road (e.g.
the car rolls into a ditch, lifts off the ground or
hits something in the terrain), skidding, or risk of
collision, the seatbelt can be tensioned by the
seatbelt tensioner's electric motor.
The electric seatbelt tensioner helps to adjust
the occupant to a better position, reducing the
risk of striking the car's interior and improving
the effect of safety systems, such as the car's
airbags.
When the critical situation has come to an end,
the seatbelt and the electric seatbelt preten-
sioner are restored automatically, but they can
also be restored manually.
