(1/6)
1
– 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.
Depending on the vehicle, they may
comprise:
– front seat belt inertia reel preten-
sioners;
– chest-level load limiters;
– 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 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.
With the ignition on, following a signif-
icant frontal impact and depending on
the severity of the impact, the system
may trigger the seat belt inertia reel
pretensioner 1 , which instantly retracts
the seat belt.
