Vehicles with curtain shield airbags—When
the sensor detects a severe frontal impact
or a vehicle roll over, the front seat belts
are quickly drawn back by the retractors
so that the belts snugly restrain the occu-
pants.
The front passenger's seat belt pretension-
er 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 belt pretensioner may activate if lug-
gage is put on the seat, or the seat belt
is buckled up regardless of the presence
air-
of an occupant in the seat. (As for the
front passenger occupant classification
system, see "—Front passenger occupant
classification system" on page 81 in this
Section.)
The seat belt pretensioners and SRS air-
bags may not operate together in all colli-
sions.
