The emergency tensioning retrac­
tors are designed to activate only
during severe frontal impacts within
the shaded area shown. They tight­
en the belts in such a way that
they fit more snugly against the
body restricting as much as
possible its forward movement.
In cases of less severe frontal
impacts, roll-overs, side or rear
collisions, or other accidents
without severe frontal forces, the
emergency tensioning retractors
will not be activated. The driver and
passenger will then be protected
by the fastened seat belts and iner­
tia reel in the usual manner.
Warning!
• Each occupant should wear his
seat belt at all times.
Together with the “SRS” (driver
air bag, ETR’s and driver-side
knee bolster), the seat belt off­
ers the best conditions for pro­
tection of the body in case of
severe frontal impact. Never
wear the shoulder belt under
your arm or otherwise out of
position. Position the lap belt as
low as possible around the hips
(not the waist).
• Infants and small children
should be seated in a properly
secured child or infant restraint
system, which is properly se­
cured by a lap belt or lap belt
portion of a lap-shoulder belt
Children could be endangered
in an accident if their child re­
straint are not properly secured
in the vehicle.
• Each seat belt should not be
used for more than one person
at a time.
• Belts should not be worn twisted.
• For pregnant women, the lap
belt should be positioned as
low as possible around the
hips, to avoid any possible
pressure on the abdomen.

belts, see page 87.
