Front safety belt energy management retractors

The front outboard safety belt energy management retractors allow

webbing to be pulled out of the retractor in a gradual and controlled

manner in response to the occupant’s forward momentum. This helps

reduce the risk of force-related injuries to the occupant’s chest by

limiting the load on the occupant. Refer to Energy management feature

section in this chapter.

Determining if the Personal Safety System is operational

The Personal Safety System娂 uses a warning light in the instrument

cluster or a back-up tone to indicate the condition of the system. Refer

to the Warning light section in the Instrument cluster chapter. Routine

maintenance of the Personal Safety System娂 is not required.

The Restraints Control Module (RCM) monitors its own internal circuits

and the circuits for the airbag supplemental restraints, crash sensor(s),

safety belt pretensioners, front safety belt buckle sensors, driver seat

position sensor, and passenger occupant classification sensor. In addition,

the RCM also monitors the restraints warning light in the instrument

cluster. A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the

following.

• The warning light will either flash or stay lit.

• The warning light will not illuminate immediately after ignition is

turned on.

• A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat

periodically until the problem and warning light are repaired.

If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the Personal

Safety System娂 serviced at an authorized dealer immediately. Unless

serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a

collision.

Safety belt precautions

Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap

belt snug and low across the hips.

To reduce the risk of injury, make sure children sit where they

can be properly restrained.
