The inertia reels are fitted with a device which  
automatically locks the strap in the event of a  
collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls  
over. It can be released by pulling the strap firmly  
and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.

pretensioning system and a force limiting system.  
Height adjustment  
(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))  
This system improves safety in the event of a  
frontal or side impact.  
Do not use the other modes on sand as  
the vehicle may become stuck.  
Depending on the severity of the impact, the  
pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly  
tightens the seat belts against the body of the  
occupants.  
Recommendations  
The vehicle is designed principally to drive  
on tarmac roads, but it may occassionally drive  
on other less passable terrain.  
However, it does not permit off-road driving:  
– Driving on terrain that can damage the  
underbody or tear off elements (e.g. fuel  
pipe, fuel cooler) by obstacles or stones in  
particular.  
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are  
enabled when the ignition is on.  
Force limiting system  
This system reduces the pressure of the seat belt  
on the chest of the occupant, thus improving their  
protection.  
►ꢀ To adjust the height of the anchorage point,  
squeeze control A and slide it to the notch desired.  
In the event of an impact  
– Driving on terrain with steep gradients and  
poor grip.  
Depending on the nature and seriousness  
of the impacts, the pyrotechnic device may  
trigger before and independently of airbag  
deployment. Deployment of the pretensioners  
is accompanied by a slight discharge of  
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the  
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge  
incorporated in the system.  
Rear seat belts  
– Crossing a waterway.  
Seat belts  
Inertia reel  
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia  
reel which allows the strap length to adjust  
automatically to the shape of the user. The seat  
belt returns to its storage automatically when it  
is not used.  
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes  
on.  
Following an impact, have the seat belt system  
checked, and if necessary replaced, by a dealer  
or a qualified workshop.
