Renault Trafic
Methods of restraint in addition to the rear seat belts
Load limiter
Above a certain severity of impact, this mechanism is used to limit the force of the
belt against the body so that it is at an acceptable level.
Side seat belt pretensioners
The pretensioners hold the seat belt against the body, holding the occupant more securely
against the seat, thus increasing the seat belt's efficiency.
With the ignition on, following a significant frontal impact and depending on the
severity of the impact, the system may trigger the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner
1 which instantly retracts the seat belt.
WARNING
- Have the entire restraint system checked following an accident.
- No operation whatsoever is permitted on any part of the system (pretensioners, airbags, computers, wiring) and the system components must not be reused on any other vehicle, even if identical.
- Only qualified personnel from our Network may work on the pretensioners and airbags, otherwise the system may trigger accidentally and cause injury.
- The electrical trigger system may only be tested by a specially trained technician using special equipment.
- If scrapping your vehicle, contact an approved dealer for disposal of the gas generator of the pretensioners and airbags.
