Safety Belt Pretensioners
This vehicle has safety beltpretensioners for front outboardoccupants. Although the safety beltpretensioners cannot be seen, theyare part of the safety belt assembly.They can help tighten the safetybelts during the early stages of amoderate to severe frontal, nearfrontal, or rear crash if the thresholdconditions for pretensioneractivation are met. And, if yourvehicle has side impact airbags,safety belt pretensioners can helptighten the safety belts in a sidecrash. If the vehicle has rolloverroof-rail airbags, safety beltpretensioners can help tighten thesafety belts in a rollover event.
Pretensioners work only once. If thepretensioners activate in a crash,they will need to be replaced, andthe vehicle's safety belt system willprobably need other new parts. SeeReplacing Safety Belt System Partsafter a Crash073.
Do not sit on the outboard safetybelt while entering or exiting thevehicle or at any time while sitting in
the seat. Sitting on the safety beltcan damage the webbing andhardware.
Rear Safety Belt Comfort

Comfort guides are availablethrough your dealer for the rearoutboard seating positions.Instructions are included with theguide.

The best way to protect the fetus isto protect the mother. When a safetybelt is worn properly, it is more likelythat the fetus will not be hurt in acrash. For pregnant women, as foranyone, the key to making safetybelts effective is wearing themproperly.
