For optimum occupant protection, Vectra has pyrotechnic seat belt tensioners in the front seats. The seat belt pretensioner is activated in the event of a frontal collision, whereby the collision angle can deviate to the side by up to a maximum of 30°. Deceleration must be at least 6 g (1 g = 9.81 m/s). If there is less deceleration or a rear impact, the seat belt pretensioner will not activate. The numbers indicate:
1 - traction cable;
2 - corrugated cover;
3 - belt lock;
4 - yellow operation indicator;
5 - two-pole wire connector;
6 - brake drive tube;
7 - piston;
8 - cartridge.

The subsequent ignition is shown by the operation indicators on the belt tensioners (yellow) and the flashing of the airbag warning light. Deployment indicators on the seat belt pretensioners are visible to the driver and passenger next to the driver. IN «redeemed» state, the seat belt continues to function as a normal automatic belt.
