The front seat belts are fitted with pyrotechnic pretensioners and force limiters.

These systems improve safety for the front seats in frontal collisions. Depending on the severity of the impact, the pyrotechnic pretensioner instantly tightens the belts and pulls them against the occupant's body.

Seat belt pretensioners are active when the ignition is switched on.

The force limiter reduces the pressure of the belt on the passenger's chest, improving safety.

On five-door versions, the belt is fitted with a guide that allows the belt to be positioned as close as possible to the belt guide.
