When the seat belt pretensioners are acti-
vated, an operating noise may be heard
and a small amount of smoke–like gas
may be released. This gas is harmless
and does not indicate that a fire is occur-
ring.
Once the seat belt pretensioners have
been activated, the seat belt retractors
remain locked.
CAUTION
Do not modify, remove, strike or open
the seat belt pretensioner assemblies,
airbag sensor or surrounding area or
wiring. Doing any of these may cause
sudden operation of the seat belt pre-
tensioners or disable the system,
which could result in death or serious
injury.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death or serious inju-
ries.
