Safety belt pretensioner

Your vehicle is equipped with safety belt pretensioners at the driver and

front outboard passenger seating positions.

The safety belt pretensioners are designed to activate only when the

safety belts are fastened during certain frontal or near-frontal collisions

with sufficient longitudinal deceleration. A safety belt pretensioner is a

device which tightens the webbing of the lap and shoulder belts in such

a way that they fit more snugly against the body.

The driver and front outboard passenger safety belt system (including

retractors, buckles and height adjusters) must be replaced if the vehicle

is involved in a collision that results in the activation of the safety belt

pretensioners. Refer to the Safety belt maintenance section in this

chapter.

In the event of a collision resulting in the deployment of the

front air bags, the front safety belts must be replaced if they

were in use. Failure to replace the safety belt assembly could result in

severe personal injuries in the event of a collision.

Safety belt usage sensors

The driver and front outboard passenger safety belt buckles are

equipped with sensors that detect if the safety belts are fastened. The

sensors provide information to the Personal Safety System which can

then adapt the air bag deployment or safety belt pretensioner activation

based upon safety belt usage.

The Personal Safety System provides the most benefit to belted

occupants. The system monitors and tailors the air bag

deployment based upon safety belt usage. Failure to properly wear

your safety belt will increase your risk of injury.
