METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS
(continued)
Force limiter
Above a certain severity of impact,
this mechanism is used to limit the
force of the belt against the body so
that it is at an acceptable level.
Warning concerning the
service life of the airbags
The pyrotechnic systems
in
airbags
and
pretensioners have a limited
service life.
Refer to the servicing booklet for
your vehicle for replacement
frequency.
Airbags
for
driver
and
passenger
These may be provided for the
driver and the front passenger seats.
The presence of this equipment is
indicated by the words “Airbag” on
the
steering
wheel
and
the
dashboard, and a label on the base
of the windscreen or on the sun
visor.
Each airbag system consists of:
- an airbag and gas generator fitted
on the steering wheel for the
driver and in the dashboard for the
front passenger.
- a computer for both systems,
which includes the impact sensor
and a monitor controlling the
electrical trigger system for the gas
generator.
- a single warning light
on
the instrument panel.
