The
driver
’s and
front
passenger
’s seats
each
have a seat belt equipped with a pre-tensioner system.
The
driver
and
front
passenger
seat
belts
are
equipped
with
a seat
belt
pre-tensioner
sys-
tem.
In
a moderate-to-severe
frontal
or
side
collision,
the
pre-tensioner
system
operates
simultaneously
with
the
deployment
of
the
front
airbags
or
side
airbags
and
curtain
air-
bags.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:
Adjust
the
shoulder
belt
anchor
only
when
the
vehicle
is not
in motion.
Mak
e sur
e the anchor is secu
rely
lock
ed in
