Pre-tensioner seat belt

Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's pre-tensioner
seat belts. The purpose of the pre-
tensioner is to make sure that the
seat belts fit tightly against the occu-
pant's body in certain frontal colli-
sions or side collisions. The pre-ten-
sioner seat belts may be activated in
crashes where the frontal collision or
side collision is severe enough.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or
if the occupant tries to lean forward
too quickly, the seat belt retractor will
lock into position. In certain frontal
collisions or side collision, the pre-
tensioner will activate and pull the
seat belt into tighter contact against
the occupant's body.
If the system senses excessive ten-
sion on the driver or passenger's
seat belt when the pre-tensioner acti-
vates, the load limiter inside the pre-
OED030300
tensioner will release some of the
pressure on the affected seat belt.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
The pre-tensioner will activate not
only in a frontal collision but also in
a side collision or rollover, if the
vehicle is equipped with a side or
curtain air bag.
WARNING
Do not put anything near the
buckle. Placing objects near the
buckle can adversely affect the
anchor pre-tensioner and may
increase the risk of personal
injury in the event of a collision.
