In certain frontal collisions, the pre-
tensioner will activate and pull the seat
belt into tighter contact against the
occupant's body. The buckle pre-
tensioner (which is installed in the
buckle) will also pull the seat belt into
the buckle.
!
CAUTION:
Do not put anything near the buckle.
Placing objects near the buckle can
adversely affect the buckle pre-
tensioner and may increase the risk
of personal injury in the event of a
collision.
If the system senses excessive seat
belt tension on the driver or passenger's
seat belt when the pre-tensioner acti-
vates, the load limiter inside the pre-
tensioner will release some of the pres-
sure on the affected seat belt.

WARNING:
To obtain maximum benefit from a
pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn cor-
rectly.
2. The seat belt must be adjusted to
the correct position.
NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front
passenger's pre-tensioner seat
belts will be activated in certain
frontal collisions. The pre-
tensioner seat belts can be acti-
vated with the airbags.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts
are activated, a loud noise may
be heard and fine dust, which
may appear to be smoke, may be
visible in the passenger compart-
ment. These are normal operat-
ing conditions and are not haz-
ardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation
and should not be breathed for
prolonged periods. Wash all ex-
posed skin areas thoroughly af-
ter an accident in which the pre-
tensioner seat belts were activated.
