WARNING:
To obtain maximum benefit from a
pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn cor-

2. The seat belt must be adjusted to
the correct position.
NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front
passenger's pre-tensioner seat

belts will be activated in certain

frontal collisions. The pre-
tensioner seat belts can be acti-
vated with the airbags. The pre-
tensioners will be activated even
if the seat belts are not being
worn at the time of the collision.
o 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 passenger compart-
ment. These are normal operat-
ing conditions and are not haz-
ardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation
and should not be inhaled for
prolonged periods. Wash your
hands and face thoroughly after
an accident in which the pre-
tensioner seat belts were acti-
vated.

not working properly, this warn-
ing light will illuminate even if
there is no malfunction of the
SRS airbag system.
If the SRS airbag warning light
does not illuminate when the ig-
nition key is turned to "ON", or if
it remains illuminated after blink-
