1–8 SEATS AND OCCUPANT PROTECTION SYSTEMS
Maintain your safety belts:
1. Periodically inspect all safety belts,
related parts, and assemblies. Have
these replaced by a authorized re-
pairer if any safety belts, assemblies
or related parts are damaged.
2. You must replace any safety belt or
related part that has been stretched
or damaged in an accident, even if
the stretching or damage is not ob-
vious or visible. Stretched belts and
damaged parts do not perform effec-
tively. Replacement safety belts must
be new.
3. We recommend replacing the entire
safety belt assembly after your ve-
hicle has been in a collision. If your
authorized repairer finds that no
safety belt damage has occurred and
that everything is in proper working
order, you need not make any re-
placement.
4. It is dangerous to operate your ve-
hicle with damaged safety belts or
other parts.
SAFETY BELT PRETENSIONER
The safety belt for each of the front
seats is equipped with an automatic belt
pretensioner.
Restraint systems with a safety belt
pretensioner reduce the risk of injury in
the event of a head-on collision.
These safety belt pretensioners are al-
ways activated in a severe head-on col-
lisions so that the driver and front pas-
senger are held securely in their seats.
The safety belt pretensioner is not trig-
gered in minor frontal, rear or side col-
lisions or rollovers.
If the pretensioner has been activated
because of an accident or any other rea-
son, the pretensioner and seat belt must
be replaced.
