The
airbag
control
unit
monitors
the
readiness
of the
electronic
parts
of the
system
whenever
the
ignition
switch
is
in
the
“ON”
or
“ST
ART” position.
These
include
all
of
the
items 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 “ST
ART” 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
care
should
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
a
moderate-to-severe
frontal
or
side
impact,
even
if the
seat
belt
is not
being
worn.
The
seat
belt
pre-tensioners
may
not
activate
in
certain
types
of
collisions,
even
though
the
vehi
cle
may
appea
r 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
forces
were
not
severe
enough
or
not
of
the
type
to
activate the system.

When
transporting
infants
or
small
children
in your
vehicle,
an
appropriate
child
restraint
system
must
always
be
used.
This
is required
by law in the U.S. and Canada.Child
restraint
systems
specifically
designed
for
infants
and
small
children
are
offered
by
several
manufacturers.
Choose
only
a child
restraint
system
with
a label
certifying
that
it
complies
with
Federal
Motor
Vehicle
Safety
Standard
213
(FMVSS
213)
or Motor
Vehicle
Restraint
Systems
and
Booster
Seats
Safety
Regulations
(RSSR).
Look
for
the
manufac-
turer
’s statement
of
compliance
on
the
box
and child restraint system itself. The
child
restraint
system
should
be
appropri-
ate
for
your
child’
s weight
and
height,
and
should properly fit your vehicle’
s seat.
For
detail
information,
refer
to the
instruction
manual
accompanying
the

restraint
sys-
tem.

All
childr
en must
be
seated
in
the
rear
seat,
and
properly
restrained.
Accident
statistics
show
that
childr
en
of
all
sizes
and
ages
are safer
when
properly
restrained in the
rear
seat, rather
than
in
the
front
seat.
Any
child who
is too
large to use
a child
restraint
system
should
ride
in
the
rear
seat
and
wear
the lap
and
sho
ulder
belt
properly
. The
shoulder
belt
must
be
posi-
tion

not
acr
oss their
neck
, and
with

belt posi
tione
d low
on
the
child’s hips,
not
acr
oss their
stomach.
If necessary

booster
seat sho
uld be use
d to help
achieve
a proper
seat
belt
fit.
Follow
