Seat Belt Pretensioner
and Load Limiting
Systems
▼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.
(With roll-over sensor)
The pretensioners deploy
simultaneously with the air bags when
a roll-over is also detected.
For deployment details, refer to the
SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria (page
2-58).
The seat belt retractors remove slack
quickly as the air bags are expanding.
Any time the air bags and seat belt
pretensioners have fired they must be
replaced.
A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Air Bag/Seat Belt Pretensioner
System Warning Indication/Warning
Light on page 7-55.
(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

▼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

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 specified period of time, then
turns on/off depending on the conditions as indicated in the following table.

passenger air bag deactivation switch:
Unintentional deactivation of the front
passenger air bag is dangerous. In an
accident, the front passenger will not
be properly protected. Serious injuries
or even death could occur. To avoid
unintentional deactivation, always use
the auxiliary key stored in the
transmitter body currently being used
to operate the front passenger air bag
deactivation switch. After deactivating
the air bag, put the auxiliary key back
into the transmitter body. That way you
will not leave the key in the front
