Safety features of your vehicle
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• Both the driver's and front pas-
senger's pre-tensioner seat belts
may be activated in certain colli-
sions.
The pre-tensioners will not be acti-
vated if the seat belts are not being
worn at the time of the collision.
• 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 compartment.
These are normal operating condi-
tions and are not hazardous.
• Although it is non-toxic, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for pro-
longed periods. Wash all exposed
skin areas thoroughly after an
accident in which the pre-tension-
er seat belts were activated.
