The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in a similar way as an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) type of seat belt. When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if theoccupant tries to lean forward too quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock into position. NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front
passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated in certain frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can be acti- vated with the airbags. The pre- tensioners will be activated even ifthe seat belts are not being worn at the time of the collision.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise may beheard and fine dust, which may appear to be smoke, may be vis-ible in the passenger compart- ment. These are normal operating conditions and are not hazard-ous.

o Do not install any accessories or
children’s toys in the Curtain Airbag deployment zones, as this may impair the operation of the system or throw parts of them intothe vehicle cabin causing injury to occupants if the system is de- ployed.
o To maintain the integrity of the Curtain Airbag system, any work,removal or installation of theairbag and associated compo- nents (such as roof lining and side trims) should always be performedby a qualified vehicle repairer.
WARNING:
o Before installing child restraints, always refer to "Child RestraintSystem" to ensure correct instal- lation and occupant protection is maximised.
o Make sure that the occupant does
not have any body parts (head,arms & legs) protruding outside the restraining system. If an inflat- ing airbag was to strike an infantchild on the head, it may cause serious injury.
o Ensure the opening for the Cur- tain Airbag System remains unob-structed at all times, so that the airbags can inflate properly ifneeded.
Important Safety Notes for Cur- tain Airbag Systems Following is a number of safety points concerning this system which shouldalways be observed to ensure risk of injury is reduced in an accident.
o The built in coat hooks should
only be used for light weight cloth- ing, ensure that pockets are free of any heavy or sharp objects. When using coat hooks, do not hangclothes on coat hangers.
o The space between the occupant
and the curtain airbag must neverbe occupied by children, passen- gers or pets. Occupants should never lean out or have any parts oftheir body protruding from the window whilst the engine is run- ning.
