door is slammed against a safety
belt, damage can occur to both the
safety belt and the vehicle.

height adjuster for the driver and
right front passenger seating
positions.Adjust the height so the shoulder
portion of the belt is on the shoulder
and not falling off of it. The belt

frontal crash if the threshold
conditions for pretensioner
activation are met. And, if the

safety belt pretensioners can help
tighten the safety belts in a side
crash or a rollover event.
