And, if thevehicle has roof-rail airbags, safetybelt pretensioners can help tightenthe safety belts in a side crash or arollover event.
Pretensioners work only once. If thepretensioners are activated in acrash, the pretensioners andpossibly other parts of the safetybelt system will need to be replaced.SeeReplacing Safety Belt SystemParts after a Crash054.
Do not sit on the outboard safetybelt while entering or exiting thevehicle or at any time while sitting inthe seat. Sitting on the safety beltcan damage the webbing andhardware.
