Seat Belt Use During Pregnancy; Seat Belt Pre-Tensioner And Force Limiter Systems - Mitsubishi Mirage 2017 Owner's Manual

Seat belt use during preg-
nancy
Seat belts work for everyone, including preg-
nant women. Like all occupants, pregnant
women are more likely to be seriously injured
or killed in an accident if they do not wear
seat belts.
WARNING
 To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death to pregnant women and unborn
children in an accident, pregnant women
should always wear a seat belt. The lap
portion of the seat belt should be worn
snug and low across the hips and below
the rounding. Consult your doctor if you
have any additional questions or concerns.
Seat belt pre-tensioner and
force limiter systems
The driver's and front passenger's seats each
have a seat belt equipped with a pre-tensioner
system and force limiter system.
Pre-tensioner system
The driver and front passenger seat belts are
N00406800147
equipped with a seat belt pre-tensioner sys-
tem. In a moderate-to-severe frontal or side
collision or when a rollover or overturning of
the vehicle is detected, the pre-tensioner sys-
tem operates simultaneously with the deploy-
ment of the front airbags, side airbags or
curtain airbags.
The seat belt pre-tensioners are located within
the seat belt retractors (A). When activated,
the pre-tensioners quickly draw back seat belt
webbing and increase seat belt performance.
