Isuzu N Series 2008 Owner's Manual page 125

CAUTION
• If you repair any components around the steering wheel, instrument panel,
center console and brake/clutch pedal or on the seat belts, or if you install an
audio system or other equipment, the seat belt with pretensioner and SRS
airbag system may be adversely affected, possibly causing the driver's seat belt
(and the passenger's seat belt, if the vehicle is equipped with a passenger's
airbag) to unintentionally retracts or the driver's airbag (and the passenger's
airbag, if equipped) to suddenly deploys, resulting in injury. Be sure to have any
repair or installation done by your Isuzu Dealer.
NOTE
• The driver's seat belt and the passenger's seat belt (if the vehicle is equipped
with a passenger's airbag) feature pretensioner and load limiter functions.
• The three-point seat belts are provided with an emergency locking retractor
(ELR) function.
[ELR function]
• The ELR normally allows the seat belt to move in and out freely as the occupant
moves. However, it locks the seat belt to restrain the occupant when a forward
force resulting from a collision or sudden stop acts on the occupant.
• The ELR also locks the seat belt when the belt is pulled out quickly. If this
happens, allow it to retract once and then pull it out slowly.
[Load limiter function]
• The load limiter allows the seat belt to extend while maintaining the load
working on the belt at a constant level. This helps alleviate the shock applied on
the occupant's chest.
