SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT

SYSTEM (SRS)

Em ergency Tensioning

Retractor (ETR)

The seat belts for the front seats are

equipped with emergency tensioning
retractors. These tensioning retractors

are located in each belt’s inertia reel

and become operationally ready with

the key in steering lock position 1 or 2.

The emergency tensioning retractors

are designed to  activate only when  the
seat belts  are fastened during  major
frontal  impacts within  the shaded  area
shown.  They tighten  the  belts  in  such
a way that they fit  more  snugly  against

the body restricting its forward move

ment as much as possible.

In cases of less severe frontal impacts
roll-overs, certain side impacts, rear

collisions, or other accidents without

major frontal forces, the emergency

tensioning retractors will not be

activated. The driver and passengers

will then be protected by the fastened

seat belts and intertia reel in the usual
manner.

For seat belt and emergency tension
ing retractor safety guidelines see
page 45.
