The seat belt pretensioner is controlled by the airbag
sensor assembly. The airbag sensor assembly consists
of a safing sensor and airbag sensor.

noise may be heard and a small amount of smoke±like
gas may be released. This gas is harmless and does not
indicate that a fire is occurring.
Once the seat belt pretensioner has been activated, the
seat belt retractor remains locked.

mirrors to the desired position.
2. While
pushing the ªSETº button, push button ª1º
or ª2º until the signal beeps.
The beep sound means that the positions are recorded
in the computer's memory. By repeating these two steps and pressing the
remaining button, the driving position for another driver
can be recorded.
To set a new memorized position, select the desired
position and perform step 2. The previous memory will
be erased and the new position will be set.
To make only slight changes to an already memorized
position, the easiest way is to first activate the
memorized position, then make the desired changes
and perform step 2 above.
