Stowing the rear seat belt

The rear seat belt buckles can be stowed

in the pocket between the rear seatback

and cushion when not in use.

Pre-tensioner seat belt

Your vehicle is equipped with driver's and

front passenger's pre-tensioner seat

belts.The purpose of the pre-tensioner is

to make sure that the seat belts fit tightly

against the occupant's body in certain

frontal collisions (or side collisions or

rollovers). The pre-tensioner seat belts

can be activated, where the frontal colli-

sion (or side collisions or rollovers) is

severe enough, together with the air

bags.

When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if

the occupant tries to lean forward too

quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock

into position. In certain frontal collisions

(or side collisions or rollovers), the pre-

tensioner will activate and pull the seat

belt into tighter contact against the occu-

pant's body.

If the system senses excessive seat belt

tension on the driver or passenger's seat

belt when the pre-tensioner activates, the

load limiter inside the pre-tensioner will

release some of the pressure on the

affected seat belt.

✽✽

NOTICE

The pre-tensioner will activate not only

in a frontal collision but also in a side

collision or rollover, if the vehicle is

equipped with a side or curtain air bag.

WARNING

belt webbing is not loose or twisted

seat.
