Seat belts work for everyone, including preg-
nant women. Like all occupants, pregnant
women are more likely to be seriously injured
or killed in an accident if they do not wear
seat belts.

The driver’s and front passenger’s seats each
have a seat belt equipped with a pre-tensioner
system and force limiter system.
The driver and front passenger seat belts are
equipped with a seat belt pre-tensioner sys-
tem. In a moderate-to-severe frontal or side
collision or when a rollover or overturning of
the vehicle is detected, the pre-tensioner sys-
tem operates simultaneously with the deploy-
ment of the front airbags, side airbags or
curtain airbags.
The seat belt pre-tensioners are located in the
driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt retrac-
tors (A) and in the front passenger seat’s final
anchor (B). When activated, the pre-tension-
ers quickly draw back seat belt webbing and
increase seat belt performance.
The seat belt pre-tensioner system includes
the following components:
The airbag control unit monitors the readiness
of the electronic parts of the system whenever
the operation mode of the power switch is in
ON. These include all of the items listed
above and all related wiring.
The seat belt pre-tensioners will operate
under the same conditions as the airbag con-
trol unit.
When the seat belt pre-tensioners activate,
some smoke is released and a loud noise will
be heard. The smoke is not harmful, but care
should be taken not to intentionally inhale it,
