The safety belt system consists of:
•
lap and shoulder safety belts.
• shoulder safety belt with
automatic locking mode, (except
driver safety belt).
• height adjuster at the front
outboard seating positions.
• safety belt pretensioner at the
front outboard seating positions.
• belt tension sensor at the front
outboard passenger seating
position.
• Safety belt warning light and
chime.
• Crash sensors and monitoring
system with readiness indicator.
The safety belt pretensioners at the
front seating positions are designed
to tighten the safety belts when
activated. In frontal and near-frontal
crashes, the safety belt pretensioners
may be activated alone or, if the crash
is of sufficient severity, together with
the front airbags. The pretensioners
may also activate when a side curtain
airbag is deployed.
