Pre-tensioner seat belt (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with driver’s
and front passenger’s pre-tensioner
seat belts. The purpose of the pre-
tensioner is to make sure that theseat belts fit tightly against the occu-
pant’s body in certain frontal colli-
sions. The pre-tensioner seat belts
will activate together with the
airbags, where the frontal collision is
severe enough. The seat belt pre-tensioner system
consists mainly of the following com-
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration. ➀
SRS airbag warning light
➁ Seatbelt pre-tensioner assembly
➂ SRS airbag control module
SAFETY BELTS

CAUTION
The pre-tensioner seat belt is
installed at the front seats, andthe sensor is equipped insidethe buckle, where presence of passenger is sensed by the fas-tening of the seat belts.Therefore, pre-tensioner will not activate if the passenger is notfastened with the seat belts.Likewise, it will activate if buck- led even without a passenger inthe seat. Pre-tensioner seat beltis designed to activate when theseatbelt is in use. To ensure the pretensioner seatbelts activatein event of a possible seatbeltbuckle switch malfunction, the system is designed to activateregardless of whether a seatbelt is in use or if no seat belt use is detected within 6 sec-onds of turning the ignitionswitch ON.

We strongly recommend that the
driver and all passengers be proper-
ly restrained at all times by using the
safety belts provided with the vehi-
cle. Proper use of the safety belts
decreases the risk of severe injury or
death in accidents or sudden stops.
All seats (including or except the
centre rear seat) have lap/shoulder
belts. Inertial locks in the safety belt
retractors allow all of the lap/shoul-
der safety belts to remain unlocked
during normal vehicle operation. This
allows the occupants some freedom
of movement and increased comfort
while using the safety belts. If a force
is applied to the vehicle, such as a
strong stop, a sharp turn, or a colli-
sion, the safety belt retractors will
automatically lock the safety belts.Since the inertial locks do not require
a collision in order to lock up, you
may become aware of the safety
belts locking while braking or going
around sharp corners.
Always use the rear seat position(s)
to install your child restraint(s).
Never install a child restraint system in the front passenger position, as an
inflating airbag could cause serious
or fatal injury to a child in that posi-tion.
Safety belts provide the best restraintwhen:
The seatback is upright.
The occupant is sitting upright (not
slouched).
The lap belt is snug across the hips.
The shoulder belt is snug across the chest.
The knees are straight forward.
To help you remember to fasten your
safety belt, a warning light will come
on and a chime will sound. See
Safety Belt Warning Light and Chimeon page 3-36.
