Seating and Safety Restraints
during a frontal or near-frontal collision. This maximizes the effectiveness
of the safety belts and helps properly position the occupant relative to
the airbag to improve protection. The safety belt pretensioners can be
either activated alone or, if the collision is of sufficient severity, together
with the airbags.
Front safety belt load limiter
The front outboard safety belt load limiter allows webbing to be pulled
out of the retractor in a gradual and controlled manner in response to
the occupant's forward momentum. This helps reduce the risk of
force-related injuries to the occupant's chest by limiting the load on the
occupant. Refer to Load limiter feature section in this chapter.
Determining if the Personal Safety System
The Personal Safety System
cluster or a back-up tone to indicate the condition of the system. Refer
to the Warning light section in the Instrument cluster chapter. Routine
maintenance of the Personal Safety System
The Restraints control module (RCM) monitors its own internal circuits
and the circuits for the airbag supplemental restraints, crash sensor(s),
safety belt pretensioners, front safety belt buckle sensors, driver seat
position sensor, and passenger occupant classification sensor. In addition,
the RCM also monitors the restraints warning light in the instrument
cluster. A malfunction with the system is indicated by one or more of the
following.
The warning light will either flash or stay lit.
The warning light will not illuminate immediately after ignition is
turned on.
A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat
periodically until the problem and warning light are repaired.
If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the Personal
Safety System
serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a
collision.
Safety restraints precautions
WARNING: Always drive and ride with your seatback upright
and the lap belt snug and low across the hips and the shoulder
belt snug across the chest.
