Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING
For your safety, be sure that the belt
webbing is not loose or twisted and
always sit properly on your seat.
NOTICE
If equipped with rollover sensor
The pre-tensioner will activate not only
in a frontal collision but also in a side col-
lision or rollover, if the vehicle is
equipped with a side or curtain air bag.
NOTICE
Without rollover sensor
The pre-tensioner will activate not only
in a frontal collision but also in a side col-
lision, if the vehicle is equipped with a
side or curtain air bag.
The seat belt pre-tensioner system con-
sists mainly of the following compo-
nents. Their locations are shown in the
illustration:

WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-
tensioner seat belt:
1. The seatbelt must be working cor-
rectly and adjusted to the proper posi-
tion. Please read and follow all of the
important information and precau-
tions about your vehicle's occupant
safety features – including seat belts
and air bags – that are provided in
this manual.
2. Be sure you and your passengers
always wear their seat belts, and wear
them properly.
NOTICE
僅 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 passen-
ger compartment. These are normal
operating conditions and are not haz-
ardous.
僅 Although it is harmless, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should
not be breathed for prolonged peri-
ods. Wash all exposed skin areas thor-
oughly after an accident in which the
pre-tensioner seat belts were acti-
vated.
僅 Because the sensor that activates the
SRS air bag is connected with the pre-
tensioner seat belt, the SRS air bag
warning light on the instrument panel
will appear for approximately 3~6
seconds after the vehicle is in ON
position, and then it should turn off.
