—Seat belt pretensioners
The driver and front passenger seat
belt pretensioners are designed to be
activated in response to a severe fron-
tal impact.
When the sensor detects a severe frontal
impact, the front seat belts are quickly
drawn back by the retractors so that the
belts snugly restrain the occupants.
'08 Corolla_U (L/O 0706)
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
of an occupant in the seat. (As for the
front passenger occupant classification
system, see "—Front passenger occupant
classification system" on page 62 in this
Section.)
The seat belt pretensioners and SRS air-
bags may not operate together in all colli-
sions.

sists mainly of the following components
and their locations are shown in the il-
lustration.
