Pre-tensioner seat belt
(if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's and
front passenger's pre-tensioner safety
belts. The purpose of the pre-tensioner
is to make sure that excess slack is taken
up in certain frontal collisions. The pre-
tensioners may activate along with the
front air bags in frontal collisions based
on angle of impact, seat belt usage and
impact severity.
The seat belt pre-tensioner system con-
sists mainly of the following components.
Their locations are shown in the illustra-
tion.
(1) SRS air bag warning light
(2) Seatbelt pre-tensioner assembly
(3) SRS air bag control module
(4) Buckle pre-tensioner assembly
SAFETY BELTS

CAUTION
The pre-tensioner seat belt is
installed at the front seats, and the
sensor is equipped inside the buck-
le, where presence of passenger is
sensed by the fastening of the seat
belts. Therefore, pre-tensioner will
not activate if the passenger is not
fastened with the seat belts.
Likewise, it will activate if buckled
even without a passenger in the
seat. Pre-tensioner seat belt is
designed to activate when the seat-
belt is in use. To ensure the preten-
sioner seatbelts activate in event of
a possible seatbelt buckle switch
malfunction, the system is
designed to activate regardless of
whether a seat belt is in use or if no
seat belt use is detected within 6
seconds of turning the ignition
switch ON.
