SEAT BELT SYSTEM
General Description
B: CAUTION
 Before starting, turn the ignition switch to OFF,
disconnect the battery ground cable and wait for 20
seconds or more.
 The pretension system has a backup power source.
The pretensioner might deploy if you do not wait for 20
seconds or more before starting work.
 Do not drop or apply any impact to the preten-
sioner.
 If oil, grease, or water gets on the pretensioner,
wipe it off immediately with a dry cloth.
 Do not expose the pretensioner to high tempera-
ture or flame.
 Do not allow current to flow through or voltage to
reach the pretensioner. Do not use a circuit tester
to check resistance of the pretensioner.
 Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the pre-
tensioner. If it is dented, cracked, or deformed, re-
place it with a new one.
 Do not use the airbag or pretensioner parts from
other vehicles. Always replace parts with new
parts.
 When handling a seat belt with a deployed pre-
tensioner, wear gloves and goggles. Wash your
hands afterwards.
 Do not re-use a seat belt with a deployed preten-
sioner again.
 Be sure to deploy pretensioner before disposal.
sioner.>
 If the material gets in your eyes or on your skin
during deployment, wash it away with clean water,
and then consult a doctor.
