Safety features of your vehicle
To release the seat belt:
The seat belt is released by pressing
the release button (1) in the locking
buckle. When it is released, the belt
should automatically draw back into
the retractor.
If this does not happen, check the
belt to be sure it is not twisted, then
try again.

Pre-tensioner seat belt

Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's pre-tensioner
seat belts.
1. Retractor pre-tensioner
The retractor pre-tensioner, which is
a supplement system of the seat
belts, helps the driver and front pas-
senger's upper body to be fastened
surely to the seat by pulling the
shoulder belt in certain frontal colli-
sions.
2. Emergency Fastening Device
(EFD)
Emergency Fastening Device, which
is a supplement system of the seat
belts, protects the driver and front
passenger's lower body by pulling the
lap belt in certain frontal collisions.
The pre-tensioner seat belts may be
activated in crashes where the
frontal collision (or side collision) is
OED030300
severe enough.
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 (or side collisions), the pre-
tensioner will activate and pull the
seat belt into tighter contact against
the occupant's body.
If the system senses excessive ten-
sion on the driver or passenger's
seat belt when the pre-tensioner acti-
vates, the load limiter inside the
retractor pre-tensioner will release
some of the pressure on the affected
seat belt.
