The driver and front passenger seat
belt pretensioners are designed to be
activated in response to a severe fron-
tal impact. On vehicles equipped with
curtain shield airbags, the pretensioners
are also activated during vehicle rol-
lover.
When the sensor detects a severe frontal
impact or a vehicle rollover, the front seat
belts are quickly drawn back by the re-
tractors so that the belts snugly restrain
the occupants.
The seat belt pretensioner will not activate
if no passenger is detected in the front
passenger seat by the front passenger oc-
cupant classification system. However, the
front passenger’s seat belt pretensioner
may activate if luggage is put on the seat,
or the seat belt is buckled up regardless
of the presence of an occupant in the
seat. (As for the front passenger occupant
classification system, see “—Front passen-
ger occupant classification system” on
page 91 in this Section.)
The seat belt pretensioners and SRS air-
bags may not operate together in all colli-
sions.
The seat belt pretensioners will not oper-
ate in a vehicle rollover if the “RSCA
OFF” indicator light is on. For details, see
“Roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off
switch” on page 95 in this Section.
