Belt ttensioner*
Safety for the
belted-in
driver and front
passenger is increased by the belt ten-
sioners fitted to the inertia reels of the
front 3 point seatbelts to supplement the
Air Bag.
In case of a severe frontal collision the
system is activated by sensors which fire
a pyrotechnic charge in the two automatic
tightening devices.
This makes the devices roll up and tighten
the tensioners.
