Seat belt pretensioners (front seats)
The pretensioner helps the seat
belt to quickly restrain the occu-
pant by retracting the seat belt
w
hen the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal
collision.
The pretensioner may not acti-
vate in the event of a minor frontal
imp
act, a side impact or a rear
impact.
n Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also
lock if you lean forward
too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend so that you can move around fully.
n Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely extended and then
retracted even
slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be
extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly.
To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once
more. (→P. 102)
