Comprising:
z three-point seat belts
z belt tensioners a t the front seats
z airbag sy ste ms for driver a nd f ront

The three stag es are a ctivated in sequence
depending on the seriousness of the
accident:
z The automa tic seat belt locking devices
prevent the belt strap from being pulled
out and thus ensure that the vehicle
occupants are retained in their seats.
z The front seat b elt buckles are p ulled
downwards. As a result, the seat belts
are instantaneously tightened and the
occupants are made aware of the
deceleration of the vehicle at a very ea rly
stage. This reduces the stress placed on
the body.
z The airbag sy stems a re also triggered in
th e ev en t o f s eriou s accide n ts an d f orm a
safety cushion for the occupants.
