Belt Tensioners: Safety Instructions

Seat Belts

The cars are equipped with seat belts for the front and rear seats in conformity with legal requirements.

WARNING: The label must not be removed from the belt strap. No changes or repairs may be made to the belt and no fixing points changed. Ensure that the type of belt fitted and its position comply with the specification given in the spare part literature.

Belts which have been stressed in connection with an accident must be replaced and destroyed so they cannot be re-used.

Inertia Reel With Belt Tensioner Activated

When a car has been involved in a collision and a belt tensioner has been activated, the entire inertia reel with pretensioner, buckle lock and end fitting must be replaced.

If any of the rear belts were in use at the time of the accident, they must be replaced together with the buckle lock.

If no belt tensioner has been activated, inspect all belts and other equipment thoroughly.

If the seat-belt tensioner was not triggered, it should be scrapped.
