Additional methods of restraint

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS
(1/6)
Depending on the vehicle, they are
composed of:
– seat belt inertia reel pretension-
ers;
– driver’s lap belt pretensioners;
– chest-level load limiter;
–
airbags driver and passenger
front.
These systems are designed to act in-
dependently or together when the vehi-
cle is subjected to a frontal impact.
Depending on the severity of the
impact, the system can trigger:
– seat belt locking;
– the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner
(which engages to correct seat belt
slack);
– the lap belt pretensioners to hold the
occupant in his seat;
– the front airbag.
Pretensioners
The pretensioners hold the seat belt
against the body, holding the occupant
more securely against the seat, thus in-
creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.
In the event of a severe frontal impact
and if the ignition is switched on, the
system may engage the following de-
pending on the force of the impact:
– seat belt inertia reel pretensioner
1
which instantly retracts the seat belt;
– the lap belt pretensioner 2 for the
driver only.
– Have the entire restraint
system checked following
an accident.
– No operation whatso-
ever is permitted on any part
of the system (pretensioners,
airbags, computers, wiring) and
the system components must not
be reused on any other vehicle,
even if identical.
– Only qualified personnel from our
Network may work on the airbags;
otherwise the system may trigger
accidentally and cause injury.
– The electric trigger system may
only be tested by a specially
trained technician using special
equipment.
– When the vehicle is scrapped,
contact an approved dealer for
disposal of the pretensioner and
airbags gas generators.
