Safety features of your vehicle
To release the seat belt
The seat belt is released by pressing
the release button (1) of the locking
buckle. When it is released, the belt
should automatically draw back into
the retractor.
If this does not happen, check the
belt to be sure it is not twisted, then
try again.
Pre-tensioner seat belt
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's pre-tensioner
seat belts.
1. Retractor pre-tensioner
The retractor pre-tensioner is a sup-
plemental system of the seat belts.
The purpose of the retractor pre-ten-
sioner is to tighten the shoulder belt
against the occupant's upper body in
certain frontal collisions.
The pre-tensioner seat belts may be
activated, when a collision is severe
enough, together with the air bags.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or
if the occupant tries to lean forward
too quickly, the seat belt retractor
may lock into position. In certain
frontal collisions (or side collisions),
the pre-tensioner may activate and
pull the seat belt into tighter contact
against the occupant's body.
If the system senses excessive ten-
sion on the driver seat belt when the
pre-tensioner activates, the load lim-
iter inside the retractor pre-tensioner
will release some of the pressure on
the affected seat belt.
