Seat belts
Releasing the seat belt
The seat belt is released by pressing the
release button (1) on the locking buckle.
When it is released, the belt should auto
-
matically draw back into the retractor.
If this does not happen, check the belt to
make sure it is not twisted, then try
again.
Pre-tensioner seat belt
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's pre-tensioner seat
belts (retractor pre-tensioner and EFD
(Emergency Fastening Device)).
The pre-tensioner seat belts may be
activated, when a frontal collision is
severe enough, together with the air
bags.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if
the occupant tries to lean forward too
quickly, the seat belt retractor may 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.

Retractor pre-tensioner
The purpose of the retractor pre-ten
-
sioner is to make sure that the shoul
-
der belts fit in tightly against the
occupant's upper body in certain fron
-
tal collisions.
2
EFD (Emergency Fastening Device)
The purpose of the EFD is to make
sure that the pelvis belts fit in tightly
against the occupant's lower body in
certain frontal collisions.
If the system senses excessive tension
on the driver or passenger's seat belt
when the pre-tensioner system acti
-
vates, the load limiter inside the retractor
pre-tensioner will release some of the
pressure on the affected seat belt.
NOTICE
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 operat
-
ing conditions and are not hazardous.
The seat belt pre-tensioner system con
-
sists mainly of the following compo
-
nents. Their locations are shown in the
