Routing the seat belt webbing through
the rear seat belt guides will help keep
the belts from being trapped behind or
under the seats. After inserting the seat
belt, tighten the belt webbing by pulling
it up.
CAUTION
When using the seat belt, use it after tak-
ing it out of the guides. If you pull the
seat belt when it is stored in the guides,
it may damage the guides and/or belt
webbing.

Pre-tensioner seat belt
OSP2I039024
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 occupant's body in certain
collisions.
The pre-tensioner seat belts may be
activated in crashes where the 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,
the pre-tensioner will activate and pull
the seat belt into tighter contact against
the occupant's body.
If the system senses excessive tension
on the driver or passenger's seat belt
when the pre-tensioner system acti-
vates, the load limiter inside the retractor
pre-tensioner will release some of the
pressure on the affected seat belt. (if
equipped)
