cannot be seen, they are part of the
seat belt assembly. They can help
tighten the seat belts during the early
stages of a moderate to severe frontal,
near frontal, or rear crash if the
threshold conditions for pretensioner
activation are met. Seat belt
pretensioners can also help tighten
the seat belts in a side crash or
roll-over event.
Pretensioners work only once. If the
pretensioners activate in a crash, the
pretensioners and probably other
parts of the vehicle's seat belt system
will need to be replaced. See Replacing
Seat Belt System Parts after a Crash

Do not sit on the outboard seat belt
while entering or exiting the vehicle or
at any time while sitting in the seat.
Sitting on the seat belt can damage
the webbing and hardware.
Seat Belt Use During
Pregnancy
Seat belts work for ever yone,
including pregnant women. Like all
occupants, they are more likely to be
seriously injured if they do not wear
seat belts.
A pregnant woman should wear a
lap-shoulder belt, and the lap portion
should be worn as low as possible,
below the rounding, throughout the
pregnancy.
The best way to protect the foetus is
to protect the mother. When a seat
belt is worn properly, it is less likely
that the foetus will be hurt in a crash.
For pregnant women, as for anyone,
the key to making seat belts effective
is to wear them properly.
Safety System Check
Periodically check the seat belt
reminder, seat belts, buckles, latch
plates, retractors, shoulder belt height
adjusters (if equipped) and seat belt
anchorages to make sure they are all
in working order. Look for any other
loose or damaged seat belt system
parts that might keep a seat belt
system from performing properly. See
your dealer to have it repaired. Torn,
frayed or twisted seat belts may not
protect you in a crash. Torn or frayed
seat belts can rip apart under impact
forces. If a belt is torn or frayed, have
it replaced immediately. If a belt is
twisted, it may be possible to untwist
it by reversing the latch plate on the
webbing. If the twist cannot be
corrected, ask your retailer to fix it.
Make sure the seat belt reminder light
is working. See Seat Belt Reminders
