■ SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINTS
CAUTION
A crash can damage the
restraint systems in your
vehicle. A damaged restraint
system may not properly
protect the person using it,
resulting in serious injury or
even death in a crash.
Have the restraint systems
inspected after a collision.
Make any necessary
replacements as soon as
possible.

Safety Belt Pretensioners

Your vehicle is equipped with
safety belt pretensioners.
Pretensioners help tighten the
safety belts during the early stages
of a moderate to severe frontal or
near frontal collision if the
threshold conditions for the
pretensioners are met.
The pretensioners will also help
tighten the safety belts during a
side or rear collision.
Section 2
The pretensioners are located in
the driver and front passenger
safety belt assemblies.
Pretensioners work only once. If
the pretensioners are activated in a
collision, they will need to be
replaced.
