Seats & Safety System
Pre-tensioner seat belt
OJKEV031078
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's,
front passenger's, and rear LH/RH
passenger’s (except center passenger)
Pre-tensioner Seat Belts (Retractor
Pre-tensioner). The purpose of the
pre-tensioner is to make sure the seat
belts fit tightly against the occupant’s
body in certain frontal or side collision(s).
The pre-tensioner seat belts may be
activated in crashes where the frontal or
side collision(s) is severe enough,
together with the airbags.
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 tension on
the driver or passenger’s seat belt when
the pre-tensioner system activates, the
load limiter inside the retractor
pre-tensioner will release some of the
pressure on the affected seat belt (if
equipped with load limiter).
WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death:
• Always wear your seat belt and sit
properly in your seat.
• Do not use the seat belt if it is loose or
twisted. A loose or twisted seat belt will
not protect you properly in an accident.
• Do not place anything near the buckle.
This may adversely affect the buckle
and cause it to function improperly.
• Always replace your pre-tensioners
after activation or an accident.
Pre-tensioner seat belts are designed
to be used only once.
• Have the pre-tensioners inspected,
serviced, repaired or replaced by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
• Do not hit the seat belt assemblies.
WARNING
Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat belt
assemblies for several minutes after they
have been activated. When the
pre-tensioner seat belt mechanism
deploys during a collision, the
pre-tensioner can become hot and can
burn you.
CAUTION
Body work on the front area of the vehicle
may damage the pre-tensioner seat belt
system. Therefore, have the system
serviced by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
