Getting to know your vehicle

Supplementary restraint systems: rear side seat belts

~1min read

Belt force limiter

In a particularly severe impact, this device stretches slightly, which limits the force the belt exerts on the body.

  • After an accident, have the operation of the safety systems checked.
  • Do not carry out any repairs or modifications to the system yourself (airbags, electronic modules, wiring) or use its components in other vehicles, even identical ones.
  • To avoid unexpected activation of the system and the resulting damage, note that only an Authorised Brand Partner is authorised to repair airbags.
