belt pretensioners
The driver and front passenger seat
belt pretensioners (vehicles with sepa-
rate front seats) or driver and front out-
side passenger seat belt pretensioners
(vehicles with bench front seat) are de-
signed to be activated in response to
a severe frontal impact.
When
the
sensor
detects
a
severe
frontal
impact,
the
front
seat
belts are
quickly
drawn
back
by
the

so
that
the
belts
snugly
restrain
the
occupants.
The
seat
belt
pretensioners
are
activated
even with no
passenger
in the
front
seat.
The
seat
belt
pretensioners
and SRS air-
bags may
not
operate
together
in all colli-
sions.
