Pre-tensioner seat belt (if
equipped)
OON038092NR
Your vehicle is equipped with pre-
tensioner seatbelts at the front and
rear outboard seating positions.
The purpose of the pre-tensioner is
to make sure that the seat belts fit
tightly against the occupant’s body
in certain collisions.
The pre-tensioner seat belts may
be activated in crashes where the
collision is severe enough.
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 activate and pull the seat belt
into tighter contact against the
occupant’s body.
If the system senses excessive
tension on the driver or passenger’s
seat belt when the pre-tensioner
activates, the load limiter inside the
pre-tensioner will release some of
the pressure on the affected seat
belt. (if equipped)
WARNING
For your safety, be sure that the
belt webbing is not loose or twisted
and always sit properly on your seat.
NOTICE
The pre-tensioner will activate not
only in a frontal collision but also
in a side collision, if the vehicle is
equipped with a side or curtain air
bag.
