Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners

SEAT BELT TENSIONER
OUTER LAP TENSIONER
For added protection, the front seat
belts are equipped with automatic
seat belt tensioners. When activated,
the tensioners immediately tighten
the belts to help hold the driver and
a front passenger in position.
Additional Information About Your Seat Belts
The tensioners are designed to
activate in any collision severe
enough to cause the front airbags to
deploy, or if a sensor detects your
vehicle is about to roll over (see page
35 ).
If a side airbag or side curtain airbag
deploys during a side impact, the
tensioner on that side of the vehicle
will also deploy.
The tensioners can also be activated
during a collision in which the front
airbags do not deploy . In this case, the
airbags would not be needed, but the
additional restraint could be helpful.
When the tensioners are activated,
the seat belts will remain tight until
they are unbuckled.
If the front seat belt tensioners ever
activate, they must be replaced as
the belts will no longer retract
properly.
On vehicles with collision mitigation
brake system (CMBS)
If there is no passenger on the front
passenger's seat and the seat belt is
not fastened, the front passenger's
automatic seat belt tensioner will not
be activated.
The SRS indicator will
come on if there is a
problem with your automatic seat
belt tensioners (see page 35 ).
