Pre-tensioner seat belt
(Driver and front passenger)
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's and
front passenger's Pre-tensioner Seat
Belts (Retractor Pretensioner and
Emergency Fastening Device System).
The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to
make sure the seat belts fit tightly against
the occupant's body in certain frontal col-
lisions. The Emergency Fastening Device
System may be activated in certain
crashes where the 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 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.
(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) Emergency Fastening Device System
The purpose of the Emergency
Fastening Device System 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.

Always wear your seat belt and
sit properly in your seat.

Do not use the seat belt if it is
loose or twisted. A loose or
twisted seat belt will not protect
you properly in an accident.

Do not place anything near the
buckle. This may adversely affect
the buckle and cause it to func-
tion improperly.

Always replace your pre-tension-
ers after activation or an acci-
dent.
•
NEVER inspect, service, repair or
replace the pre-tensioners your-
self. This must be done by an
