Safety features of your vehicle
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or
if the occupant tries to lean forward
too quickly, the seat belt retractor will
lock into position. In certain frontal
collisions, the pre-tensioner will acti-
vate and pull the seat belt into tighter
contact against the occupant's body.
If the system senses excessive ten-
sion on the driver or passenger's
seat belt when the pre-tensioner acti-
vates, the load limiter inside the pre-
tensioner will release some of the
pressure on the affected seat belt.
The seat belt pre-tensioner system
consists mainly of the following com-
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration above:
1.SRS air bag warning light
2.Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3.SRS control module
4.Anchor pre-tensioner assembly

from a pre-tensioner seat belt:

about your vehicle’s occupant
