Safety features of your vehicle

When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if

the occupant tries to lean forward too

quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock

into position. In certain frontal collisions,

the pre-tensioner will activate and pull

the seat belt into tighter contact against

the occupant's body.

If the system senses excessive seat belt

tension on the driver or passenger's seat

belt when the pre-tensioner activates, the

load limiter inside the pre-tensioner will

release some of the pressure on the

affected seat belt.

The seat belt pre-tensioner system con-

sists mainly of the following components.

Their locations are shown in the illustra-

tion:

1. SRS air bag warning light

2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly

3. Anchor pre-tensioner assembly

4. SRS control module

WARNING

To obtain maximum benefit from a

pre-tensioner seat belt:

1. The seatbelt must be worn cor-

rectly and adjusted to the proper

position. Please read and follow

all of the important information

and precautions about your vehi-

cle’s occupant safety features –

including seat belts and air bags

– that are provided in this manu-

al.

2. Be sure you and your passen-

gers always wear seat belts prop-

erly.

WARNING

• Do not put anything near the

buckle. Placing objects near the

buckle can adversely affect the

buckle pre-tensioner and may

increase the risk of personal

injury in the event of a collision.

• For your safety, be sure that the

belt webbing is not loose or twist-

ed and always sit properly on

your seat.
