The seat belt pre-tensioner system

ponents. Their locations are shown in

assembly
(3) SRS control module
✽✽
NOTICE
• Pre-tensioner seat belts will be
activated in certain frontal colli-
sions. The pre-tensioner seat belts
can be activated, where the frontal
collision is severe enough, together
with the air bags.
• When the pre-tensioner seat belts
are activated, a loud noise may be
heard and fine dust, which may
appear to be smoke, may be visible
in the passenger compartment.
These are normal operating condi-
tions and are not hazardous.
• Although it is harmless, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for pro-
longed periods. Wash all exposed
skin areas thoroughly after an
accident in which the pre-tension-
er seat belts were activated.
• Because the sensor that activates
the SRS air bag is connected with
the pre-tensioner seat belt, the
SRS air bag warning light on the
instrument panel will illuminate
for approximately 6 seconds after
the Engine Start/Stop button has
been turned to the "ON" position,
and then it should turn off.
WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit
from a pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seatbelt must be worn
correctly and adjusted to the
proper position. Please read
and follow all of the important
information and precautions
about your vehicle’s occupant
safety features – including
seat belts and air bags – that
are provided in this manual.
2. Be sure you and your passen-
gers always wear seat belts
properly.
