Moulded badges in the A- and
B-piller trims indicate that curtain air
bags are fitted. The curtain airbags
are fitted over the front and rear side
windows inside the roof lining. In case
of a severe lateral collision, the air bag
on the side affected by the collision
will be inflated.
The curtain air bags are not activated
upon minor lateral collisions nor upon
front or rear impacts.
Seat belts
WARNINGS
Use seat belts at all times.
Never use a seat belt for more
than one person.
Avoid wearing thick clothing.
WARNINGS
The seat belts should fit tightly
around the body.
Seat belt pretensioner
WARNING
The belt pretensioners must not
be removed. If the
pretensioners are deployed during
an accident, they must be replaced.
Have the pretensioners serviced and
disposed of by specially trained
personnel only.
The restraint system, with belt
pretensioners in the front seats, helps
to reduce the risk of serious injury in
a major frontal impact. During a
serious crash the seat belts are
pretensioned to help reduce slack in
the belt. The safety belt pretensioner
is a device which removes excess
webbing from the safety belt system.
When the safety belt pretensioner
deploys, webbing from the lap and
shoulder belt is tightened.
