Methods of restraint in addition to the front seat belts
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS
These are:
– pretensioners
,
– force limiter,
– air bags for driver and front pas
-
senger.
These systems are designed to act
independently or together when the
vehicle is subjected to a frontal impact.
There are three possibilities, depending
on the level of impact force:
– protection is provided by the seat
belt only;
– the pretensioner is triggered to rec
-
tify belt position and take up seat belt
slack;
– the air bag and the force limiter are
also triggered when there are severe
impacts.
– Have the entire restraint
system checked following
an accident.
– No operation whatsoever
is permitted on any part of the
system (air bags, electronic con-
trol units, wiring) and the system
components must not be reused
on any other vehicle, even if iden-
tical.
– To avoid premature triggering
of the system which may cause
injury, only qualified Network
personnel are authorised
to work on the methods of
restraint in addition to the front
seat belt.
– The electric trigger system may
only be tested by a specially
trained technician using special
equipment.
– When the vehicle is scrapped,
contact an approved dealer for
disposal of the pretensioner and
airbag gas generators.
Pretensioners
With the ignition on, in the event of a
serious frontal impact, piston instantly
retracts the seat belt buckle, pulling the
seat belt against the body and thereby
increasing its efficiency.
