Safety features of your vehicle Seat belts
Stowing the rear seat belt
The rear seat belt buckles can be
stowed in the pocket between the
rear seatback and cushion when not
in use.
Pre-tensioner seat belt (if
equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with pre-
tensioner seatbelts at the front and
rear outboard seating positions. The
purpose of the pre-tensioner is to
make sure that the seat belts fit
tightly against the occupant's body
in certain collisions. The pre-ten
-
sioner seat belts may be activated
in crashes where the collision is
severe enough.
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.
If the system senses excessive ten
-
sion on the driver or passenger's
seat belt when the pre-tensioner
activates, the load limiter inside the
pretensioner will release some of
the pressure on the affected seat
belt. (if equipped)
For your safety, be sure that the
belt webbing is not loose or twisted
and always sit properly on your
seat.
The pre-tensioner will activate not
only in a frontal collision but also in a
side collision, if the vehicle is
equipped with a side or curtain air
bag.
