Belt force limiters
On the front seats, stress on the body
is reduced by the gradual release of
the belt during a collision.
Belt pretensioners
In the event of a head-on or side or
rear-end collision of a certain severity,
the front seat belts are tightened.
9 Warning
Incorrect handling (e.g. removal or
fitting of belts) can trigger the belt
tensioners with risk of injury.
Deployment of the belt pretensioners
is indicated by illumination of control
indicator v 3 73.
Triggered belt pretensioners must be

other objects that may interfere with

modifications to belt pretensioner
components as this will invalidate
