Features of your vehicle

Pre-tensioner seat belt
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's and
front passenger's pre-tensioner seat
belts (retractor pretensioner and EFD
(Emergency Fastening Device)). The pre-
tensioner seat belts may be activated,
when a frontal collision is severe enough,
together with the air bags.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if
the occupant tries to lean forward too
quickly, the seat belt retractor may lock
into position. In certain frontal collisions,
the pre-tensioner will activate and pull
the seat belt into tighter contact against
the occupant's body.
(1) Retractor Pretensioner
The purpose of the retractor preten-
sioner is to make sure that the shoul-
der belts fit in tightly against the occu-
pant's upper body in certain frontal
collisions.
(2) EFD (Emergency Fastening Device)
The purpose of the EFD is to make
sure that the pelvis belts fit in tightly
against the occupant's lower body in
certain frontal collisions.
If the system senses excessive tension
on the driver or passenger's seat belt
when the pre-tensioner system activates,
the load limiter inside the retractor pre-
tensioner will release some of the pres-
sure on the affected seat belt.
