The belt tension limiter reduces the pressure exerted by the seat belt on the body during an accident.
Observe all safety requirements when the vehicle or components of the system are scrapped. These requirements are known
to the suitably qualified workshops (→ Belt tensioner). Volkswagen recommends using an authorised Volkswagen repairer.
Seat belts may become damaged during work on the belt tensioners or while removing or installing vehicle parts in conjunction with
other repair work. This damage will not always be noticeable. As a result, the belt tensioners may not function correctly or may not
function at all in the event of an accident.
Regulations must be observed to ensure that the effectiveness of the belt tensioner is not reduced and that removed parts do not
cause any injuries or environmental pollution. These requirements are known to suitably qualified workshops. Volkswagen
recommends using an authorised Volkswagen repairer.
WARNING
The risk of severe or fatal injuries may be increased if the seat belts, automatic belt retractors and belt tensioners are not used
correctly, or if they are repaired by a non-professional. As a result, the belt tensioners may not be triggered when they should, or they
may be triggered unexpectedly.
● Never carry out any repairs, adjustments or removal and refitting of parts in the belt tensioners or seat belts by yourself, and have
such work carried out only by a suitably qualified workshop . Volkswagen recommends using an authorised Volkswagen repairer.
● Seat belts, belt tensioners and automatic belt retractors cannot be repaired. They must be replaced.
The airbag modules and belt tensioners may contain perchlorate. Observe the legal requirements for disposal.
