Seat Belts
Advantage of Wearing Seat Belts ProperlyAdvantage of Wearing Seat Belts Properly
Properly wearing seat belts can restrain the driver and
passengers in restricted positions, reducing the risk of injury
during a collision.
After a vehicle collision, seat belts assist other safety systems
to absorb the energy generated by the collision at the same
time, slowing down the inertia of forward motion of driver and
passengers and preventing them from being thrown forward,
meanwhile assure them the best protection by the airbags and
minimize the injury impact.
Caution
●
The driver and passengers must wear seat belts
properly, otherwise they will be thrown out forward in
an accident, which will not only injure themselves but
also endanger others in the vehicle.
Seat Belt PretensionerSeat Belt Pretensioner
In the event of a severe front or side collision, the pretensioners
will operate simultaneously with the airbags. The pretensioners
automatically tighten the seat belt straps to reduce slackness
in the leg and diagonal sections of the seat belts, so as to
reduce the forward lean of the driver and passengers.
If the pretensioners and airbags are not activated at the time
of a crash, it doesn't mean that they are broken. This normally
means that the intensity or type of collision is not enough to
activate them.
Warning
●
Once a seat belt pretensioner has been activated, it
must be replaced. After an accident, airbags, seat belt
pretensioners, and other related components must be
sent for inspection and replaced if necessary.
