Safety features of your vehicle
303
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.
If the system senses excessive ten-
sion on the driver or passenger's
seat belt when the pre-tensioner acti-
vates, the load limiter inside the pre-
tensioner will release some of the
pressure on the affected seat belt. (if
equipped)
NOTICE
The pre-tensioner will activate not
only in a frontal collision but also in
a side collision, if the vehicle is
equipped with a side or curtain air
bag.
The seat belt pre-tensioner system
consists mainly of the following com-
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration:
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module
WARNING
For your safety, be sure that the
belt webbing is not loose or
twisted and always sit properly
on your seat.
