occupants.
The pretensioners will not operate in minor
frontal or side impacts, or rear impacts.
■ Replacing the belt after the preten-
sioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple colli-
sions, the pretensioner will activate for the
first collision, but will not activate for the
second or subsequent collisions.

WARNING
■ Adjustable shoulder anchor
Always make sure the shoulder belt is
positioned across the center of your
shoulder. The belt should be kept away
from your neck, but not falling off your
shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce
the amount of protection in an accident
and cause death or serious injuries in the
event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve
or accident.

WARNING
■ Seat belt pretensioners
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking or an accident.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
● Do not place anything, such as a cush-
ion, on the front passenger’s seat.
Doing so will disperse the passenger’s
weight, which prevents the sensor
from detecting the passenger’s weight
properly. As a result, the seat belt pre-
tensioner for the front passenger’s seat
may not operate in the event of a colli-
sion.
