Belt TENSIONER Safety Precautions

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
WARNING:
  • The open end of the belt tensioner should never be pointed at anyone.
  • Use extreme care when removing and installing belt tensioner units. Improper handling of belt tensioner units 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 webbing must be rolled up completely prior to connection. In this case there is no increased safety risk, if all other safety instructions are followed. This particularly includes the notes regarding the disconnection of the battery and the static discharging of the technician prior to connecting the belt tensioner.
  • Even after a crash, it is possible that the belt tensioner ignited, but the seat belt force limiter did NOT. Treat these components as if they had not ignited.
