If a side or side curtain airbag
deploys during a side impact, the
tensioner on that side of the vehicle
will also deploy.
When the tensioners are activated,
the seat belts will remain tight until
they are unbuckled.
The tensioners are designed to
activate in any collision severe
enough to cause the front airbags to
deploy.
For added protection, the front seat
belts are equipped with automatic
seat belt tensioners. When activated,
the tensioners immediately tighten
the belts to help hold the driver and
a front passenger in position.
If the shoulder part of the belt is
pulled all the way out, the lockable
retractor will activate. T he belt will
retract, but it will not allow the
passenger to move freely.
To deactivate the lockable retractor,
unlatch the buckle and let the seat
belt fully retract. T o refasten the
seat belt, pull it out only as far as
needed.
The seat belts in all rear seating
positions have an additional lockable
retractor that must be activated to
secure a child restraint ( see page
).
The SRS indicator will
come on if there is a
problem with your automatic seat
belt tensioners (see page ).30
