Knowing your vehicle
SAFETY BELTS
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 acti-
vate and pull the seat belt into tighter
contact against the occupant's body.
If the system senses excessive seat
belt tension on the driver or passen-
ger's seat belt when the pre-tension-
er activates, the load limiter inside
the pre-tensioner will release some
of the pressure on the affected seat
belt. (if equipped)

Your vehicle is equipped with driver’s
and front passenger’s pre-tensioner
seat belts. The purpose of the pre-
tensioner is to make sure that the
seat belts fit tightly against the occu-
pant’s body in certain frontal colli-
sions. The pre-tensioner seat belts
can be activated together with the air
bags, where the frontal collision is
severe enough.
