Seat belts
When using the rear centre seat belt, the
buckle with the “CENTER” mark must be
used.
Do not force to lock the left or right seat
belt into the centre seat belt buckle.
Make sure to lock the rear ceter seat belt
into the centre seat belt buckle.
If not, the improperly fastened seat belt
will not be able to provide protection.
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 acti
-
vated, 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 activate 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 shoulder
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 tension
on the driver or passenger's seat belt
when the pre-tensioner system acti
-
vates, the load limiter inside the retractor
pre-tensioner will release some of the
pressure on the affected seat belt. (if
equipped)
if equipped with rollover sensor
The pre-tensioner will activate not only
in a frontal collision but also in a side col
-
lision or rollover, if the vehicle is
equipped with a side or curtain air bag.
