METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS
(1/6)

– Have the entire restraint
system checked following
an accident.
– No operation whatso-
ever is permitted on any part of
the system (pretensioners, air
bags, computers, wiring) and the
system components must not
be reused on any other vehicle,
even if identical.
– To avoid incorrect triggering of
the system which may cause
injury, only qualified personnel
from an approved Dealer may
work on the pretensioner and air
bag system.
– 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
air bag gas generators.
Depending on the vehicle, they will con-
sist of:
– seat belt inertia reel pretensio-
ners;
– chest-level load limiters;
– air bags for driver and front pas-
senger.
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);
– airbags.
Pretensioners
The pretensioners (in driver side) hold
the seat belt against the body, holding
the occupant more securely against the
seat, thus increasing the seat belt’s ef-
ficiency.
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.
