front passenger)
OIK033122L
(1) Retractor pretensioner seat belt
(Driver and front passenger)
(2) Emergency Fastening Device (EFD)
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's and
front passenger's pretensioner seat belts
(Retractor pretensioner and Emergency
Fastening Device System). The purpose
of the pretensioner is to make sure the
seat belts fit tightly against the
occupant's body in certain frontal or side
collision(s). The Emergency Fastening
Device System may be activated in
certain 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 or side
collision(s), the pretensioner will activate
and pull the seat belt into tighter contact
against the occupant's body.
(1) Retractor Pretensioner
The purpose of the retractor pretensioner
is to make sure that the shoulder belts fit
in tightly against the occupant's upper
body in certain frontal or side collision(s).
(2) Emergency Fastening Device System
The purpose of the Emergency Fastening
Device System is to make sure that the
pelvis belts fit in tightly against the
occupant's lower body in certain frontal
or side collision(s).
If the system senses excessive tension on
the driver or passenger's seat belt when
the pretensioner system activates, the
load limiter inside the retractor
pretensioner will release some of the
pressure on the affected seat belt. (if
equipped with load limiter).
• 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.
• NEVER inspect, service, repair or
replace the pre-tensioners by yourself.
have the pretensioners inspected,
serviced, repaired or replaced by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
• Do not hit the seat belt assemblies.
Do not touch the pretensioner seat belt
assemblies for several minutes after they
have been activated. When the
pretensioner seat belt mechanism
deploys during a collision, the
pretensioner can become hot and can
burn you.
Body work on the front area of the vehicle
may damage the pretensioner seat belt
system. Therefore, have the system to be
serviced by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
