—Seat belt pretensioners
LS13098
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.
Vehicles with bench seat—The seat belt
pretensioners are activated even with no
passenger in the front seat.
52
Vehicles with separate seats—The front
passenger's seat belt pretensioner will not
activate if no passenger is detected in the
front passenger seat by the front passen-
ger occupant classification system. How-
ever, the front passenger's seat belt pre-
tensioner may activate if luggage is put
on the seat, or the seat belt is buckled
up regardless of the presence of an occu-
pant in the seat. (As for the front passen-
ger occupant classification system, see
"Front passenger occupant classification
system" on page 80 in this Section.)
The seat belt pretensioners and SRS air-
bags may not operate together in all colli-
sions.
