Functionality  
Automatic belt retractor  
The automatic retractor locks the belt if it is pulled  
suddenly. The belts lock, for example, during sudden  
braking, when the car accelerates, when driving  
downhill and when cornering.  
WARNING  
If the seat belt does not lock when pulled sud-  
denly, have the retractor checked by a specialist  
garage.

Belt tensioners  
The safety of the driver and front passenger wearing  
their seat belts is enhanced by belt tensioners.  
During a collision of certain force, the seat belt is  
tightened by the belt tensioner to prevent unwanted  
body movement.  
The belt tensioner can also be deployed when the  
seat belt is not fastened.
