The seat belt pre-tens
ioner system includes
the following components: The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever
the ignition switch or the operation mode is under the following conditions. These includeall of the items listed
above and all related
wiring. [Except for vehicles
equipped with the
F.A.S.T.-key] 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-te
nsioners will operate
under the same conditions as the airbag con- trol unit. When the seat belt pr
e-tensioners activate,
some smoke is released and a loud noise willbe heard. The smoke is
not harmful, but care
should be taken not to
intentionally inhale it,
as it may cause some temporary irritation topeople with respiratory problems. The pre-tensioners activate in the event of a moderate-to-severe front or side impact, evenif the seat belt is not
being worn. The seat belt
pre-tensioners may not activate in certain col- lisions, even though the vehicle may appearto be severely damage
d. Such non-activation
does not mean that something is wrong with the seat belt pre-tens
ioner system, but rather
that the collision fo
rces were not severe
enough to activate the system.

e is malfunctioning or
damaged, transport the
vehicle with the driv-
ing wheels on a carriage (Type C, D or E) as illustrated. If the vehicle is towed with the ignition switch in the “ON” pos
