.
This seat belt is fastened as for the
front seat belts.
Remember that in the
case of a violent collision,
back seat passengers not
wearing seat belts, in addition to
being personally exposed to se-
rious risk, also represent a seri-
ous danger to the passengers in
the front.
PRETENSIONERS
The Ulysse is fitted with pretension-
ers to enable the seat belts to offer
even more effective protection.
These devices “feel” that a violent
collision is in progress via a sensor and
pull back a few inches of webbing. In
this way the pretensioner ensures that
the belt is adhering perfectly to the
body before the belt begins to hold
back the wearer.
When the pretensioner has been
triggered the reel mechanism will lock.
The seat belt cannot be drawn back up
even when guiding it manually.
IMPORTANT
To obtain the high-
est degree of protection from the ac-
tion of the pretensioning device, wear
the seat belt keeping it firmly close to
the chest and pelvis.
Pretensioners are triggered only if
the relative seat belts are correctly
pushed into the buckles.
Some smoke might come out. This is
not harmful and does not signal the be-
ginning of a fire.
The pretensioners need no mainte-
nance or lubrication. Any modification
to its original features will nullify the
pretensioner’s effectiveness. If water
or mud accidentally get into the pre-
tensioner as a result of floods or
storms, the device must be replaced.
