—Seat belt pretensioners

CY13018
The driver and front passenger seat
belt pretensioners are designed to be
activated in response to a severe fron-
tal impact. The pretensioners are also
activated during vehicle rollover.
When the sensor detects a severe frontal
impact or a vehicle rollover, the front seat
belts are quickly drawn back by the re-
tractors so that the belts snugly restrain
the occupants.
The seat belt pretensioner will not activate
if no passenger is detected in the front
passenger seat by the front passenger
occupant classification system. However,
the front passenger's seat
pretensioner may activate if luggage is put
on the seat, or the seat belt is buckled up
regardless of the presence of an occupant
in the seat. (As for the front passenger
occupant classification system,
"—Front passenger occupant classification
system" on page 91 in this Section.)
The seat belt pretensioners and SRS air-
bags may not operate together in all colli-
sions.
