<p>A vehicle passenger safety restraint comprises a seat belt and a buckle for fastening the seat belt about an occupant to restrain the occupant in the event of a crash, and pretensioner means operable to move the buckle in a seat belt tightening direction in response to indication of a crash event occurring, and further comprising a pretensioner operation flag in the form of an elongate member having a generally planar face, the elongate member being fixed to the vehicle such that, in normal use, at least the generally planar face is hidden from view, and when the pretensioner has activated, at least a portion of the planar face is exposed to indicate that the pretensioner has operated, wherein the planar face has an indicator logo moulded or cut-out of the plastics material, in stencil form and visible from both sides of the indicator member. Visibility of the sign is considerably improved and there is a cost saving in manufacture since the extra step of printing is avoided and the expensive printing ink not necessary. <IMAGE></p> |
