Seat belts
Front seat belts
Thefrontseatbeltsarefittedwitha
pretensioningandforcelimitingsystem.
Thissystemimprovessafetyinthefront
seatsintheeventofafrontorsideimpact.
Dependingontheseverityoftheimpact,the
pretensioningsysteminstantlytightenstheseat
beltsagainstthebodyoftheoccupants.
Thepretensioningseatbeltsareactivewhen
theignitionison.
Theforcelimiterreducesthepressureofthe
seat belt on the chest of the occupant, so
improvingtheirprotection.
Seat belt reels with reversible
pretension
Thissystemprovidesautomaticadjustmentof
thetensionofthedriver'sandpassenger'sseat
beltsafterfastening,oncethevehicle'sspeed
isabove6mph(10km/h).
Inaddition,assoonasthesystemdetects
apotentiallydangerousdrivingsituation,
thissystemreactsbydrawinginslackin
thebelt,(forexample,underheavyorsharp
brakingorsuddenavoidingmanoeuvres).By
automaticallyincreasingthetensionofthe
seatbelts,thesystemholdsthedriverand
passengeragainsttheirseatbackrests.
Oncethedrivingsituationreturnstonormal,
thebeltreelisreleased:thebelttensionreturns
totheinitiallevelofcomfort.
Deactivationofthepassenger'sairbag
causesdeactivationofthereversible
seatbeltreelonthepassenger'sside.
