are already fastened when the ignition
key it turned to MAR.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or lubrication.

will invalidate its efficiency. If, due to
unusual natural events (floods, sea
storms, etc.), the device has been
affected by water and mud, it must
absolutely be replaced.
A similar solution applies for the front
passenger, with the difference that
the warning light turns green and the
warning is interrupted also when the
passenger leaves the vehicle.
It both front seat belts are unfastened
while the vehicle is travelling a few
seconds apart, the acoustic indication

the two warning lights will proceed with
the visual indication independently.

LOAD LIMITERS
PRE-TENSIONERS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
To increase occupant safety in an
accident, the front seat belt reels on
driver side and passenger side (for
versions/markets, where provided)
contain a device which controls the
force acting on the chest and shoulders
during the restraining action of the belts
in the event of a frontal collision.
REAR SEATS (warning
light 2, 3 and 4)
The reminder cycle is run only when
any seat belt is unfastened (red
blinking).
In this condition, the warning light
for the seat belt which has been
unfastened will start flashing red for
approximately 30 seconds. An acoustic
signal is also emitted.
The visual indication (blinking red) will
start and end independently for each
warning light if several seat belts are
unfastened. The
To increase the protective efficiency of
the front seat belts, the vehicle is fitted
with pretensioners. These devices, in
the event of a violent frontal collision
or side collision, rewind the seat belts
a few centimetres. In this way, they
ensure that the belts fit tightly to the
wearer before the restraining action
begins.
It is evident that the pretensioners
have been activated when the belt
withdraws toward the retractor.
