Front safety belt usage sensors

The front safety belt usage sensors detect whether or not the driver and

front outboard passenger safety belts are fastened. This information

allows your Personal Safety System娂 to tailor the airbag deployment and

safety belt pretensioner activation depending upon safety belt usage.

Refer to Safety belt section in this chapter.

Front safety belt pretensioners

The safety belt pretensioners at the front outboard seating positions are

designed to tighten the safety belts firmly against the occupant’s body

during frontal collisions, and in side collisions when the vehicle is

equipped with the side air curtain system. This maximizes the

effectiveness of the safety belts. In frontal collisions, the safety belt

pretensioners can be activated alone or, if the collision is of sufficient

severity, together with the front airbags.

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姟 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 front passenger sensing system. 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.
