Seat belt pretensioners

The pretensioners help the seat belts to
quickly restrain the occupants by
retracting the seat belts when the vehi-
cle is subjected to certain types of
severe frontal collision.
The front seat belt pretensioners also acti-
vate when the vehicle is subjected to cer-
tain types of severe side collision.
The pretensioners do not activate in the
event of a minor frontal impact, a minor
side impact, a rear impact or a vehicle
rollover.
