The pretensioners help the seat
belts to quickly restrain the occu-
pants by retracting the seat belts
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal or
side collision.
The pretensioners do not activate in the
event of a minor frontal impact, a minor
side impact, a rear impact or a vehicle
rollover.
■Replacing the belt after the
pretensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple colli- sions, the pretensioner will activate for
the first collision, but will not activate for
the second or subsequent collisions.

Always make sure the shoulder belt is
positioned across the center of your shoulder. The belt should be kept
away from your neck, but not falling
off your shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the amount of protection
in an accident and cause death or
serious injuries in the event of a sud-
den stop, sudden sw erve or accident.
