IMPORTANT When the ignition key is turned to
MAR, the "belts fastened" warning lights will
be lit with a constant green light while those for
the belts unfastened will be lit with a constant red
light. If the last belt is also fastened, the the
warning lights will remain lit with a steady green
light for about 30 seconds then they will switch
off.
PRETENSIONERS
The car is equipped with front seat belt
pretensioners, which draw back the seat belts by
several centimetres in the event of a strong frontal
impact. This guarantees the perfect adherence of
the seat belts to the occupants bodies before
the retention action begins. It is evident that the
pretensioners have operated when the belt
withdraws toward the reel. This car is also
equipped with a second pretensioner (in the kick
plate area). Its activation is signalled by the
shortening of the metal cable. A slight discharge of
smoke may be produced during the activation of
the pretensioner which is not in harmful and does
not involve any fire hazard.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of
protection from the action of the pretensioning
device, wear the seat belt tight to the chest and
pelvis.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or lubrication: any changes to its
original conditions will invalidate its efficiency. If,
due to unusual natural events (floods, sea storms,
etc.), the device has been affected by water and
mud, it must be replaced.
