Seat belt pretensioners (front and outer second seats)The pretensioner helps the seat
belt to quickly restrain the occu-
pant by retracting the seat belt
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal colli-
sion or side collision.
The pretensioner may not activate
in the event of a minor frontal or
side impact, or a rear impact.
■ Adjusting the seat belt shoulder anchor height (front and outer
second seats)
Push the seat belt shoulder
anchor down while pressing
the release button.
Push the seat belt shoulder
anchor up.
Move the height adjuster up and
down as needed until you hear a
click.

Pre-collision seat belts (front seats of vehicles with pre-collision system)If the pre-collision sensor detects that a collision is unavoidable, the pre-
collision system will retract the seat be lt, thus enhancing the effectiveness
of the seat belt pretensioner in a crash.
The same will happen if the driver ma kes an emergency braking or loses con-
trol of the vehicle. ( P. 3 3 8 )
■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudd en stop or on impact. It may also lock if
you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend so that
you can move around fully.
■Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger’s shoulder belt is completely extended and then retracted even
slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be extended. This feature is
used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly. To free the belt again, fully
retract the belt and then pull the belt out once more. ( P. 1 5 2 )
