—Front seat belt
pretensioners
The driver and front outside passen-
ger's seat belt pretensioners are de-
signed to be activated in response to
a severe frontal impact.
When the airbag sensor detects the shock
of a severe frontal impact, the front out-
side seat belts are quickly drawn back in
by the retractors so that the belts snugly
restrain the front outside seat occupants.
The front outside seat belt pretensioners
are activated even with no passenger in
the front outside seat.
