Safety system of your vehicle
Pre-tensioner seat belt
(Driver and front passenger)
Retractor pre-tensioner
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's Pre-Tensioner
Seat Belts. The purpose of the pre-
tensioner is to make sure the seat
belts fit tightly against the occupant's
body in certain frontal collisions. The
pre-tensioner seat belts may be acti-
vated in crashes where the frontal col-
lision is severe enough, together with
the air bags.
If the system senses excessive ten-
sion on the driver's or passenger's
seat belt when the pre-tensioner acti-
vates, the load limiter inside the pre-
tensioner will release some of the
pressure on the affected seat belt.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or
if the occupant tries to lean forward
too quickly, the seat belt retractor will
lock into position. In certain frontal
collisions, the pre-tensioner will acti-
vate and pull the seat belt into tighter
contact against the occupant's body.

EFD system
(Driver and front passenger)
The purpose of the EFD (Emergency
Fastening Device) system is to make
sure the lap belt fit tightly against the
occupant's lower body in certain frontal
collisions. The EFD (Emergency
Fastening Device) may be activated in
crashes where the frontal collision is
severe enough.
