Safety Belt Pretensioners

Your vehicle is equipped with safe-
ty belt pretensioners. Pretension-
ers help tighten the safety belts
during the early stages of a moder-
ate to severe frontal, near frontal
or rear collision if the threshold
conditions for the pretensioners
are met.
If your vehicle is equipped with
side impact air bags, the preten-
sioners can also help tighten the
safety belts during a side collision
or rollover event.
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.
Section 2

Air Bag System

CAUTION
Air bags are designed to be
used with the safety belts.
Having air bags in the vehicle
does not replace the need to
wear safety belts.
Air bags are not designed to
deploy in every crash.
In some crashes, safety belts are
your only restraint.
