Seat Belt Pretensioner
The front seat belt system is equipped with pretensioning devices that are designed to
remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a collision.
A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.
WARNING!
• In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are
not properly buckled up.You can s trike the interior of your vehicle or other pas-
sengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others
in your vehicle are buckled up properly.
• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a colli-
sion. You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your
shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together.
• A seat belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop, you
could move too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt
snugly.
• A frayed or torn seat belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no pro-
tection. Inspect the seat belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose
parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or
modify the system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision.
