# Belt Assembly
|
|
|
|
Belt AssemblyThe seat belt in the vehicle is an integral part of the safety system for occupants. The vehicle's seat belt system provides the following important functions.
|
|
|
|
# Belt retractor
|
|
|
|
Belt retractorSeat belts are equipped with a belt retractor on the shoulder section of the belt. Full freedom of movement is ensured when the shoulder belt is pulled slowly or when the vehicle is travelling at normal speeds. However, if the belt is pulled out quickly or during sudden braking, during travel in mountains or bends and during acceleration, the belt retractor blocks the seat belt.

# Belt tensioner
|
|
|
|
The seat belts for the front seat occupants are equipped with belt tensioners.
|
|
|
|
The belt tensioners are activated by sensors and tighten the seat belts during severe frontal, side and rear collisions and also possibly vehicle rollovers. Any slack in the seat belt is tightened. This can reduce the forward movement of the vehicle occupants and their movement in the direction of the impact. The belt tensioner works together with the airbag system. If the vehicle rolls over, the belt tensioner will only be activated if the curtain airbags are triggered.
|
|
|
|
A fine dust may be produced when the airbags are triggered. This is quite normal and does not mean that there is a fire in the vehicle.
|

# WARNING
|
|
|
|
The protective function of the belt tensioners permits only one activation of the belt tensioners. The system must be replaced if the belt tensioners have been triggered.

WARNINGThe protective function of the belt tensioners permits only one activation of the belt tensioners. The system must be replaced if the belt tensioners have been triggered.- Belt tensioners that have been triggered, and any affected system parts, must be replaced immediately with new parts that are approved by Volkswagen for the vehicle.- Have repairs and modifications to your vehicle carried out only by a suitably qualified workshop.

# Belt tension limiter
