with pretensioner and load limiting
systems. For both these systems to work
properly you must wear the seat belt
properly.
Pretensioners:

frontal accidents, the front air bag and
pretensioner syst ems deploy
simultaneously.

pretensioners have fired they must be
replaced.
A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.
