Pre-tensioner safety belt

Your vehicle is equipped with driver's

and front passenger's pre-tensioner

safety belts. The purpose of the pre-

tensioner is to make sure that excess

slack is taken up in certain frontal

collisions. The pre-tensioners may

activate along with the front airbags

in frontal collisions based on angle of

impact, seat belt usage and impact

severity.

The seat belt pre-tensioner system

consists mainly of the following com-

ponents.Their locations are shown in

the illustration.

CAUTION

The pre-tensioner seat belt is

installed at the front seats, and

the sensor is equipped inside

the buckle, where presence of

passenger is sensed by the fas-

tening of the seat belts.

Therefore, pre-tensioner will not

activate if the passenger is not

fastened wi th the seat belts.

Likewise, it will activate if buck-

led even without a passenger in

the seat. Pre-tensioner seat belt

is desi

gned to activate when the

seatbelt is in use. To ensure the

pretensioner seatbelts activate

in event of a possible seatbelt

buckle switch malfunction, the

system is designed to activate

regardless of whether a seat

belt is in use or if no seat belt

use is detected within 6 sec-

onds of turning the ignition

switch ON.
