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
components. Their locations are
shown in the illustration:
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module
To obtain maximum benefitfrom a
pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn cor
-
rectly and adjusted to the proper
position. Please read and follow all
of the important information and
precautions about your vehicle䳓s
occupant safety features 䳍
including seat belts and air bags 䳍
that are provided in this manual.

always wear seat belts properly.

tain collisions. The pre-tensioner
seat belts can be activated, where
the collision is severe enough,
together with the air bags.
䳜 When the pre-tensioner seat
belts are activated, a loud noise
may be heard and fine dust, which
may appear to be smoke, may be
visible in the passenger compart

conditions and are not hazardous.
䳜 Although it is harmless, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for pro
-
longed periods. Wash all exposed
skin areas thoroughly after an
accident in which the pre-ten
-
sioner seat belts were activated.
