Black plate (48,1)
一般Model "A8140GE-A" EDITED: 2007/ 12/ 13
1-22 Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
& Seatbelt with shoulder belt
and lap belt pretensioners
(driver’s side – Australia
models only)
1) Seatbelt retractor assembly (shoulder
belt pretensioner)
2) Lap belt pretensioner
On the driver’s side, the shoulder belt
pretensioner is supplemented by a lap belt
pretensioner, which is located at the base
of the center pillar. Like the shoulder belt
pretensione r, the lap belt pretensioner
instantaneously pulls in the belt to elim-
inate slackness if a certain level of frontal
collision force is detected. As a result, the
belt restrains the driver more effectively.
When a seatbelt pretensioner is activated,
an operating noise will be heard and a
small amount of smoke will be released.
These occurrences are normal and not
harmful. This smoke does not indicate a
fire in the vehicle.
Once the seatbelt pretensioner has been
activated, the seatbelt pretensioner re-
mains locked. Consequently, the seatbelt
can not be pulled out and retracted and
therefore must be replaced.
NOTE
. Seatbelt pretensioners are not de-
signed to activate in minor frontal
impacts, in side or rear impacts or in
roll-over accidents.
. The driver’s and passenger’s seat-
belt pretensioners and frontal SRS air-
bag operate simultaneously.
. Pretensioners are designed to func-
tion on a one-time-only basis. In the
event that a pretensioner is activated,
we recommend that you have both the
driver’s and front passenger ’s seatbelt
retractor assemblies replaced with
genuine SUBARU parts by your author-
ized SUBARU dealer.
. If either front seatbelt does not
retract or cannot be pulled out due to
a malfunction or activation of the
pretensioner, we recommend that you
contact your SUBARU dealer as soon
as possible.
. If the front seatbelt assembly or
surrounding area has been damaged,
we recommend that you contact your
SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
. When you sell your vehicle, we urge
you to explain to the buyer that it has
seatbelt pretensioners by alerting him
to the contents of this section.
WARNING
. To obtain maximum protection,
the occupants should sit in an
upright position with their seat-
belts properly fastened. Refer to
the “Seatbelts” section in this
chapter.
. Do not modify, remove or strike
the front seatbelt assemblies or
surrounding area. This could
result in accidental activation of
the seatbelt pretensioners or
could make the system inopera-
tive, possibly resulting in serious
injury. Seatbelt pretensioners
have no user-serviceable parts.
For required servicing of front
seatbelt assembly equipped with
lap belt pretensioners, we recom-
mend that you consult your
nearest SUBARU dealer.
