RESTRAINT SYSTEM 10-3
Driver and Front Passenger Air Bags and Seat Belt Pretensioners
With the air bag system which includes air bags for both the driver’s and passenger’s sides as well as the seat
belt pretensioners, the pretensioner takes up the sag of the seat belt, the driver air bag (inflator) module is
deployed from the center of the steering column and the passenger air bag (inflator) module from the top of the
instrument panel in front of the front passenger seat in occurrence of a front collision with an impact larger than
a certain set value to supplement protection offered by the driver and front passenger seat belts.
SYSTEM SPECIFICATION
SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER (IF EQUIPPED)
Some seat belts of the driver and front passenger seats are provided with a pretensioner as an optional function
unit. The pretensioner is incorporated in retractor assembly and controlled by SDM as one of air bag system
components. It will be activated at the same time as the air bag when an impact at the front of vehicle exceeds
the specified value.
When servicing seat belt (retractor assembly) with pretensioner, be sure to observe all WARNINGS and CAU-
TIONS in this section and “SERVICE PRECAUTIONS” of “ON-VEHICLE SERVICE” in Section 10B
DIAGNOSIS
For diagnosis of air bag system (including in seat belt pretensioner), refer to Section 10B.
INSPECTION AND REPAIR REQUIRED AFTER ACCIDENT
After an accident, whether the seat belt pretensioner has been activated or not, be sure to perform checks and
repairs described on “REPAIRS AND INSPECTIONS REQUIRED AFTER ACCIDENT” under “DIAGNOSIS” in
Section 10B.Type 1 Type 2 Type 3

AIR BAG SYSTEM 10B-3
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
With the air bag system which includes air bags for both the
driver’s and passenger’s sides as well as the seat belt pretension-
ers (if equipped), the sag of the seat belt is taken up (for seat belt
with pretensioner), the driver air bag (inflator) module is deployed
from the center of the steering column and the passenger air bag
(inflator) module from the top of the instrument panel in front of
the front passenger seat in occurrence of a front collision with an
impact larger than a certain set value to supplement protection
offered by the driver and front passenger seat belts.
The air bag system is designed to activate only in severe frontal
collisions. It is not designed to activate in rear impacts, side
impacts, rollovers, or minor frontal collisions, since it would offer
no protection in those types of accidents.
