The front seat belt pretensioners work with the front airbags in a severe impact.
- In a severe impact, the retractor quickly tightens the belt to hold the occupant firmly.
- They may not fire in a minor or side impact.
- In a severe impact they may fire even if the front seat is empty.
- When they fire you may hear a noise and see a little non-toxic gas. It will not cause a fire and is generally harmless.
Warning:After the pretensioners have fired, the airbag warning light stays on and the belts cannot be pulled out or retracted. Have the car checked by an authorised Jaecoo service centre straight away.
Warning:Never modify, remove, hit or open the pretensioners, airbag sensors or their wiring – this could cause death or serious injury in a crash.
