Seat Belt Pretensioner
•The front seat belt system is equipped with pretensioning devices that are designed to
remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a collision.
•A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.
WARNING!
•In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are
not properly buckled up.You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other pas-
sengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle.Always be sure you and others
in your vehicle are buckled up properly.
•A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a colli-
sion.You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your
shoulder belt.The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together.
•A seat belt that is too loose will not protect you properly.In a sudden stop, you
could move too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury.Wear your seat belt
snugly.
•A frayed or torn seat belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no pro-
tection.Inspect the seat belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose
parts.Damaged parts must be replaced immediately.Do not disassemble or
modify the system.Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision.

Advanced Front Air Bags
•This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and front passenger as a
supplement to the seat belt restraint systems.The Advanced Front Air Bags will not
deploy in every type of collision.
•Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by supplement-
ing the seat belts.Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected to reduce the risk of
injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.
•The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in all frontal collisions, including some that
may produce substantial vehicle damage — for example, some pole collisions, truck
underrides, and angle offset collisions.
•On the other hand, depending on the type and location of impact, Advanced Front Air
Bags may deploy in crashes with little vehicle front-end damage but that produce a
severe initial deceleration.
•Because air bag sensors measure vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed and
damage by themselves are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should
have deployed.
•Seat belts are necessary for your protection in all collisions, and also are needed to
help keep you in position, away from an inflating air bag.
•The air bags must be ready to inflate for your protection in a collision.The Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors the internal circuits and interconnecting wiring
associated with air bag system electrical components.
•The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel for approxi-
mately four to eight seconds for a self-check when the ignition switch is first turned to
the ON/RUN position.After the self-check, the Air Bag Warning Light will turn off.
If the ORC detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on the Air Bag
Warning Light, either momentarily or continuously.A single chime will sound to alert
you if the light comes on again after initial startup.
•The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the air bag system when-
ever the ignition switch is in the START or ON/RUN position.If the ignition switch is
in the OFF position or in the ACC position, the air bag system is not on and the air
bags will not inflate.
•If the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel is not on during the four to eight
seconds when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position, stays on, or
turns on while driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center imme-
diately.
NOTE:
If the speedometer, tachometer, or any engine related gauges are not working, the Occu-
pant Restraint Controller (ORC) may also be disabled.In this condition the air bags may
not be ready to inflate for your protection.Have an authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately.
