Pre-tensioner seat belt
(if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's and rear side
passenger’s (if equipped) pre-ten-
sioner seat belts (retractor pre-ten-
sioner). The pre-tensioner seat belts
can be activated, where the 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 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.
- Retractor Pretensioner
The purpose of the retractor pre-
tensioner is to make sure that the
shoulder belts fit in tightly against
the occupant's upper body in cer-
tain frontal collisions.
If the system senses excessive ten-
sion on the driver or passenger's
seat belt when the pre-tensioner sys-
tem activates, the load limiter inside
the retractor pre-tensioner will
release some of the pressure on the
affected seat belt. (if equipped)

WARNING
For your safety, be sure that the
belt webbing is not loose or
twisted and always sit properly
on your seat.
