Systems
◆Pretensioners
When  a  collision  is  detected,  the  pretensioners  deploy  simultan e-
ously with the air bags.
The pretensioners  deploy simult aneously  with  the  air  bags  when  a
roll-over is also detected.
For deployment details, refer to  the SRS Air Bag Deployment Cri te-
ria ( P. 78).
The  front  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 Warning/Indi cator Lights on P. 173.
Refer  to  Air  Bag/Front  Seat  Belt  Pretensioner  System  Warning
Beep on P. 503.
In addition, the pretensioner system for the front passenger, l ike the
front  and  side  passenger  air  bag,  is  designed  to  only  deploy  wh en
the  front  passenger  occupant  class ification  sensor  detects  a  pas-
senger sitting on the  front passenger’s seat.
For details, refer to the front passenger occupant classificati on sen-
sor ( P.   8 2 ) .
For  optimum  protection,  the  d river  and  front  passenger  seat
belts are equipped with pretensi oner and load limiting systems.
For both these systems to work properly you must wear the seat
belt properly.
