SAFETY BELT
PRETENSIONERS
Your vehicle is equipped with safe-
ty belt pretensioners. Pretension-
ers help the safety belts reduce a
person's forward movement in the
event of a moderate to severe fron-
tal or side collision.
The pretensioners are located in
the driver and front passenger
safety belt assemblies.
Pretensioners work only once. If
the pretensioners are activated in a
collision, they will need to be
replaced.
CAUTION
Safety procedures must always
be observed when disposing of
the vehicle or vehicle parts.
Disposal should only be
performed by an authorized
service center, to help protect
the environment and your
health.
