Pre-tensioner seat belt

Your vehicle is equipped with driver's

and front passenger's pre-tensioner

seat belts. The purpose of the pre-

tensioner is to make sure that the

seat belts fit tightly against the occu-

pant's body in certain frontal colli-

sions (or side collisions). The pre-

tensioner seat belts may be activated

in crashes, where the frontal collision

is severe enough.

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 acti-

vate 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 passen-

ger's seat belt when the pre-tension-

er activates, the load limiter inside

the pre-tensioner will release some

of the pressure on the affected seat

belt.

CAUTION

Remove the seat belt from the

guides before using. If you pull

on the seat belt when it is stored

in the guides, it may damage the

guides and/or belt webbing.

WARNING

• Do not put anything near the

buckle. Placing objects near

the buckle can adversely

affect the buckle pre-tension-

er 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 twisted and always sit

properly on your seat.
