belts to quickly restrain the occu-
pants by retracting the seat belts
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal col-
lision.
The pretensioners also activate
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe side colli-
sion.
The pretensioners do not activate
in the event of a minor frontal
impact, a minor side impact, a rear
impact or a vehicle rollover.
If the system determines that a collision is unavoidable, the front seat belts
will retract before the collision. ( P. 239)
