Safety features of your vehicle
Pre-tensioner seat belt
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's pre-tensioner
seat belts (retractor pretensioner).
EFD (Emergency Fastening Device)
is equipped with driver`s seat belt (if
equipped).
Rear pre-tensioner seat belts are
equipped (rear outboard seats-For
Europe).
The pre-tensioner seat belts can be
activated, where the frontal 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 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.
(1) Retractor Pretensioner
The purpose of the retractor preten-
sioner is to make sure that the shoul-
der belts fit in tightly against the
occupant's upper body in certain
frontal collisions.
(2) EFD (Emergency Fastening
Device) (for driver`s seat belt, if
equipped)
The purpose of the EFD is to make
sure that the pelvis belts fit in tightly
against the occupant’s lower body in
certain frontal collisions.
If the system senses excessive ten-
sion on the driver or passenger's
seat belt when the pre-tensioner sys-
tem activates, the load limiter inside
the retractor pre-tensioner will
release some of the pressure on the
affected seat belt. (if equipped)
✽✽
NOTICE - if equipped with
rollover sensor
The pre-tensioner will activate not
only in a frontal collision but also in
a side collision or rollover, if the
vehicle is equipped with a side or
curtain air bag.
✽✽
NOTICE - without rollover
sensor
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.
