Seat Belts with Pre
–
tensioner
(if equipped)
You can use the pre-tensioner seat belts
in the same manner as ordinary seat
belts .
The seat belt pre-tensioner system
works
in conjunction with the
SUPPLEMENTARY RESTRAINTS SYSTEM
(SRS-Airbags).
In the event of a collision, as may be
necessary, pre-tensioner tightens the
seat belt so that it fits the occupant’s
body more snugly. When pre-tensioner
activates, there could be some noise
and release of smoke. This is normal
and there are no health hazards or fire
risk.
WARNING
In a collision, the pre-tensioner
seat belt assembly mechanisms
becomes hot during activation. Do
not touch the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies for several
minutes after they have been
activated.
If the vehicle has been involved in a
collision, get it inspected immediately at
authorised TATA MOTORS SERVICE
Center.
Seat Belt with Load Limiter
(if equipped)
You can use the load limiter seat belts in
the same manner as ordinary seat belts.
The seat belt load limiter system works
in conjunction with the SUPPLEMEN-
TARY RESTRAINTS SYSTEM (SRS-Air-
bags).
In the event of a collision, as may be nec-
essary, load limiter reduces the load on
the rib cage region of the occupant.
If the vehicle has been involved in a col-
lision, get it inspected immediately at Au-
thorised TATA MOTORS SERVICE Center.
Use of seat belts for pregnant
woman
WARNING

Pregnant woman must wear a
correctly positioned seat belt. It is
safer for mother as well as
unborn child.

Pregnant woman should wear the
lap part of the seat belt across
the thighs and as snug across the
hips as possible. Keep the seat
belt low so that it does not come
across the abdomen. That way
the strong bones of the hips will
take the force if there is a
collision.
