Belt TENSIONER Safety Precautions

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2010 Volkswagen Jetta, 2009 Volkswagen Jetta, 2009 Volkswagen GLI, 2008 Volkswagen Jetta, and 2008 Volkswagen GLI. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
  • The open end of the belt tensioner should never be pointed at anyone.
  • Use extreme care when removing and installing belt tensioners. Handling belt tensioner units improperly is very dangerous and could result in serious personal injury.
  • When connecting a belt tensioner, all mechanical parts, including those in the three-point seat belt, must be secured correctly. If it is not possible to connect the belt tensioner because of insufficient space, the seat belt must be rolled up completely prior to connection. In this case there is no increased safety risk, if all other safety instructions are followed. In particular, this includes the notes regarding the disconnection of the battery and the static discharging of the technician prior to connection of the belt tensioner.
  • After a crash, it is possible that the belt tensioner ignited, but the belt force limiter did NOT. Treat these components as if they had not ignited!
