When the Safety Canopy

System and/or the front airbags are activated,

the safety belt pretensioners for the driver and right front passenger
seating positions will be activated when the respective seatbelt is
properly buckled.

WARNING:

The driver and the right front passenger safety belt

system (including retractors, buckles and height adjusters) must

be replaced if the vehicle is involved in a collision that results in
deployment of front airbags or Safety Canopy

System and safety belt

pretensioners.

WARNING:

Failure to replace the safety belt assembly under

the above conditions could result in severe personal injuries in

the event of a collision.

Refer to the

Safety belt maintenance

section in this chapter.

Safety belt usage sensors

The driver and front outboard passenger safety belt buckles are
equipped with sensors that detect if the safety belts are fastened. The
sensors provide information to the Personal Safety System

which can

then adapt the airbag deployment or safety belt pretensioner activation
based upon safety belt usage.

WARNING:

The Personal Safety System

provides the most

benefit to belted occupants. The system monitors and tailors the

airbag deployment based upon safety belt usage. Failure to properly
wear your safety belt will increase your risk of injury.
