Seat belts
When pulling out to wear the seat belt,
the tongue should be slowly pulled out
of the seat belt guide so that the seat
belt guide does not come off the trim.
Pre-tensioner seat belt
Your vehicle is equipped with pre-ten
-
sioner seat belts at the front outboard
seating positions.
The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to
make sure that the seat belts fit tightly
against the occupant's body in certain
collisions.
The pre-tensioner seat belts may be
activated in a collision when the collision
is severe enough.
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 activate and pull
the seat belt into tighter contact against
the occupant's body
If the system senses excessive tension
on the driver or passenger's seat belt
when the pre-tensioner activates, the
load limiter inside the pre-tensioner will
release some of the pressure on the
affected seat belt. (if equipped)
For your safety, be sure that the belt
webbing is not loose or twisted and
always sit properly on your seat.
The pre-tensioner may activate not only
in a frontal collision but also in a side col
-
lision, if the vehicle is equipped with a
side or curtain air bag.
The seat belt pre-tensioner system con
-
sists mainly of the following compo
-
nents. Their locations are shown in the

Skin Irritation
Wash all exposed skin areas thoroughly
after an accident in which the pre-ten
-
sioner seat belts were activated. The fine
dust from the pre-tensioner activation
may cause skin irritation and should not
be inhaled for prolonged periods.
