SEAT BELTS
To minimise injury in the event of an accident, 
it is important that seat belts are worn correctly.

contained under the heading ‘SEAT BELT 
SAFETY’.
Fastening the seat belts
Inertia reel belts are fitted to all front and rear 
seating positions.

SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERS
The seat belt pre-tensioners activate in 
conjunction with the airbag SRS and provide 
additional protection in the event of a severe 
frontal impact on the vehicle (see ‘HOW THE 
AIRBAG SRS WORKS’, page 45). The 
pre-tensioners automatically retract the seat 
belts fitted to the front seats. This reduces any 
slack in both the lap and diagonal portions of 
the belts, thereby reducing forward movement 
of the belt wearer in the event of a severe frontal 
collision....

fraying, cuts and wear; also pay particular 
attention to the condition of the fixing points 
and adjusters.

contaminating the webbing with polish, oil or 
chemicals (see ‘CLEANING THE INTERIOR’, 
page 193).
Testing inertia reel belts 
•With the seat belt fastened, give the 
webbing near the buckle a quick upward 
pull. The buckle must remain securely 
locked.
