Seat belt pre-tensioner

The driver and front pa
ssenger seat belts are
equipped with a seat belt pre-tensioner sys-tem. In a moderate-to-severe frontal or sidecollision or when a rollover or overturning ofthe vehicle is detected, the pre-tensioner sys-tem operates simultaneous
ly with the deploy-
ment of the front airb
ags, side airbags or
curtain airbags.The seat belt pre-tensi
oners are located in the
driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt retrac-tors (A) and in the front
passenger se
at’s final
anchor (B). When activated, the pre-tension-ers quickly draw back seat belt webbing andincrease seat belt performance.The seat belt pre-tens
ioner system includes
the following components:
The airbag control unit monitors the readinessof the electronic parts of the system wheneverthe ignition switch or the operation mode isunder the following conditions. These includeall of the items listed
above and all related
wiring.[Except for vehicles
equipped with the
F. A . S . T. - k e y ]The ignition switch is in the “ON” or“START” position. [Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]The operation mode is in ON.
The seat belt pre-tens
ioners will operate
under the same conditions
as the airbag con-
trol unit.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 in
tentionally inhale it,
as it may cause some
temporary irritation to
people with respiratory problems.Even in the event of a severe impact, the pre-tensioners will
not operate if the seat belts are
not fastened. The seat be
lt pre-tensioners may
not activate in certai
n collisions, even though
the vehicle may appear
to be severely dam-
aged. Such non-activation does not mean thatsomething is wrong with
the seat belt pre-ten-
sioner system, but rather that the collisionforces were not severe
enough to activate the
system.

When transporting infants or small childrenin your vehicle, an appr
opriate child restraint
system must always be
used. This is required
by law in the U.S. and Canada.Child restraint systems specifically designedfor infants and small children are offered byseveral manufacturers. Choose only a childrestraint system with a label certifying that itcomplies with Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandard 213 (FMVSS 213) or Motor VehicleRestraint Systems and
Booster Seats Safety
Regulations (RSSR).
Look for the manufac-
turer’s statement of compliance on the boxand child restraint system itself.
The child restraint system should be appropri-ate for your child’s we
ight and height, and
should properly fit your vehicle’s seat.For detailed information,
refer to the instruc-
tion manual accompanying the child restraintsystem.All children should be properly restrained ina restraint device that offers the maximumprotection for their size and age.Be sure to check local,
state, or provincial
requirements for child size and age that mayvary from the recommendations listed below.Children less than 1 year old and whoweigh 22 pounds (10 kg) or less MUSTride in a rear-facing child safety seat thatMUST ONLY be used in the second rowseat.Children older than 1 year of age and whoweigh less than 40 pounds (18 kg) or whoare less than 40 inches (100 cm) tall mustbe in a forward-facing restraint used onlyin the rear seat.
Children who weigh more than 40 pounds(18 kg) or who are more than 40 inches(100 cm) tall, regardless of age, shoulduse a suitable child seat or a booster seatin the rear seat until the vehicle’s lap-and-shoulder belt fits
them properly.

Guidelines for child restraint system selection
WA R N I N GAll children must be seated in the rearseat, and properly restrained.Accident statistics
show that children of
all sizes and ages are safer when properlyrestrained in the rear seat, rather than inthe front seat.Be sure to select a child restraint systemthat is appropriate not only for the child’ssize and age but also for your vehicle.Some child restraint systems may not fityour vehicle properly.

The SRS includes the following components:
The airbag control unit monitors the readinessof the electronic parts of the system wheneverthe ignition switch or the operation mode isunder the following conditions. These includeall of the items listed
above and all related
wiring.[Except for vehicles
equipped with the
F. A . S . T. - k e y ]The ignition switch is in the “ON” or“START” position.[Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]The operation mode is in ON.The airbags will opera
te under the same con-
ditions as the airbag control unit.
When the impact sensors detect a sufficientfront or side impact to deploy the airbag(s),the appropriate airbag
(s) will be deployed.
When the airbag control unit detects rolloverof the vehicle, curtain airbags will bedeployed.When airbags deploy, so
me smoke is released
accompanied by a loud noise. The smoke isnot harmful, but do not intentionally inhalethe smoke as it may ca
use temporary irrita-
tion to people with respiratory problems.An inflated airbag will deflate quickly, so youmay not even notice that the airbag wasinflated.Airbag inflation does not prevent the driverfrom seeing or being able to steer the vehicle,and does not prevent people from leaving thevehicle.

The main purpose of an EDR is to record, incertain crash or near
crash-like situations,
such as an airbag deployment or hitting aroad obstacle, data that
will assist in under-
standing how a vehicl
e’s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data related tovehicle dynamics and safety systems for ashort period of time,
typically 30 seconds or
less.The EDR in this vehicle is designed to recordsuch data as:How various systems
in your vehicle were
operating;Whether or not the driver and front pas-senger safety belts we
re buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depress-ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal;and,How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under-standing of the circumstances in whichcrashes and injuries occur.
To read data recorded by an EDR, specialequipment is required, and access to the vehi-cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to thevehicle manufacturer, ot
her parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the special equip-ment, can read the information if they haveaccess to the vehicle or the EDR.
