Pre-tensioner safety belt Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's pre-tensioner
safety belts. The purpose of the pre-
tensioner is to make sure that excess
slack is taken up in certain frontal
collisions. The pre-tensioners may
activate along with the front airbags
in frontal collisions based on angle of
impact, seat belt usage and impact
severity. The seat belt pre-tensioner system
consists mainly of the following com-
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration.

CAUTION
The pre-tensioner seat belt is
installed at the front seats, and
the sensor is equipped inside
the 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 not
fastened with the seat belts.
Likewise, it will activate if buck-
led even without a passenger in
the seat. Pre-tensioner seat belt
is designed to activate when the
seatbelt is in use. To ensure the
pretensioner seatbelts activate
in event of a possible seatbelt
buckle switch malfunction, the
system is designed to activate
regardless of whether a seat
belt is in use or if no seat belt
use is detected within 6 sec-
onds of turning the ignition
switch ON.
