Automatic Seat Belt Tightening
System
The vehicle may have the Automatic
Seat Belt Tightening System.
The system activates during
emergency braking and/or sudden
driving manoeuvres and releases
when driving conditions return to
normal.
The system will not activate if the
Traction Control/Electronic Stability
Control system is not functioning
properly. See Traction Control/
Electronic Stability Control 0 220.
If there is a problem with the
Automatic Seat Belt Tightening
System, a message displays on the
Driver Information Centre (DIC).
See Seat Belt Messages 0 155.
Other seat belt functions are not
affected by the Automatic Seat Belt
Tightening System.
Safety Belt Pretensioners
This vehicle has safety belt
pretensioners for front outboard
occupants. Although the safety belt
pretensioners cannot be seen, they
are part of the safety belt assembly.
They can help tighten the safety
belts during the early stages of a
moderate to severe frontal, near
frontal, or rear crash if the threshold
conditions for pretensioner
Seats and Restraints
activation are met. Safety belt
pretensioners can also help tighten
the safety belts in a side crash or a
roll-over event.
Pretensioners work only once. If the
pretensioners activate in a crash,
the pretensioners and probably
other parts of the vehicle's safety
belt system will need to be replaced.
See Replacing Safety Belt System
Parts after a Crash 0 76.
Rear Safety Belt Comfort
Guides
Warning
A safety belt that is not properly
worn may not provide the
protection needed in a crash. The
person wearing the belt could be
seriously injured. The shoulder
belt should go over the shoulder
and across the chest. These parts
of the body are best able to take
belt restraining forces.
