Seatbelts with Pre-tensioners

The front seats and the outer rear seats feature seatbelt pre-tensioners to help provide maximum protection in the event of an accident. All seats have three-point seatbelts with pre-tensioners. In a crash, the seatbelt is tensioned across the body to help provide maximum protection.

The front seat seatbelts then slacken slightly so that the occupants are restrained by the airbags in a more controlled manner. Sound signals and warning symbols remind you to fasten your seatbelt before driving away. And in the information display in the instrument panel, you can check if the rear seat passengers have fastened their seatbelts.
