Seat belt indicator light (rear seat)
(green)

The light turns on when the ignition
is switched ON and a rear seat belt is
fastened, and then it turns off after about
30 seconds.
Seat Belt Pretensioner
and Load Limiting
Systems
For optimum protection, the front seat
belts and rear outboard seat belts * are
equipped with pretensioner and load
limiting systems. For both these systems to
work properly you must wear the seat belt
properly.

Pretensioners:
When a collision is detected, the
pretensioners deploy simultaneously with
the air bags.
For deployment details, refer to the SRS
Air Bag Deployment Criteria (page
2-55 ).
The seat belt retractors remove slack
quickly as the air bags are expanding.
Any time the air bags and seat belt
pretensioners have ¿ red they must be
replaced.
A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page
4-36 .
Refer to Air Bag/Seat Belt Pretensioner
System Warning Beep on page 7-64 .
(With front passenger air bag
deactivation switch)
In addition, the pretensioner system for
the front passenger, like the front and side
passenger air bag, is designed to only
deploy when the front passenger air bag
deactivation switch is turned to the ON
position.
For details, refer to Front Passenger Air
Bag Deactivation Switch (page 2-47 ).

Front Passenger Air Bag Deactivation Switch *
WARNING
Do not deactivate the front passenger air bag unnecessarily:
Unnecessary deactivation of the front passenger air bag is dangerous. If turned off
unnecessarily, the front passenger will not receive the added protection of the air bag.
Serious injuries or even death could occur. With the exception of installing a child-
restraint system on the front passenger seat, do not turn the air bag deactivation switch
to the OFF position.



The front passenger air bag deactivation switch should be used to deactivate the front
passenger front and side air bags and also the front passenger seat belt pretensioner system
if installing a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat.

When the ignition is switched ON, both front passenger air bag deactivation indicator
lights illuminate regardless of the front passenger air bag deactivation switch position. The
indicator light turns off after a speci¿ ed period of time, then turns on/off depending on the
conditions as indicated in the following table.

Essential Safety Equipment
SRS Air Bags
*Some models.
Curtain Air Bags *
The curtain air bags are mounted in the front and rear window pillars, and the roof edge
along both sides.
When the air bag crash sensors detect a side impact of greater than moderate force, the
curtain air bag inÀ ates quickly and helps to reduce injury mainly to the rear outboard
passenger's head caused by directly hitting interior parts such as a door or window.
For more details about air bag deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria"
(page 2-55 ).


Only one side curtain air bag will deploy on the
side of the vehicle that receives the force of an
impact.
