The seat belt pre-tensioners are located within the seat belt retractors (A). When activated, the pre-tensioners quickly draw back seat belt webbing and increase seat belt performance. The seat belt pre-tensioner system includes the following components:
The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position. These include all of theitems listed above and all related wiring. The pre-tensioner seat belt system will oper- ate only when the ignition switch is in the“ON” or “START” position.When the seat belt pre-tensioners activate, some smoke is released and a loud noise will be heard. The smoke is not harmful, but careshould be taken not to intentionally inhale it, as it may cause some temporary irritation to people with respiratory problems.The pre-tensioners activate in the event of moderate-to-severe frontal or side impact, even if the seat belt is not being worn. Theseat belt pre-tensioners may not activate in certain types of collisions, even though the vehicle may appear to be severely damaged.Such non-activation does not mean some- thing is wrong with the seat belt pre-tensioner system, but rather that the collision forceswere not severe enough or not of the type to activate the system.
