Safety belt pretensioner
Your vehicle is equipped with safety
belt pretensioners at the driver and
front passenger seating positions.
The safety belt pretensioner is a
device which removes excess
webbing from the safety belt
system. The safety belt
pretensioner uses the same crash
sensor system as the front air bag
supplemental restraint system
(SRS). When the safety belt
pretensioner deploys, webbing from
the lap and shoulder belt is
tightened. The driver and front
passenger seat belt system
(including retractors, buckles and
height adjusters) must be replaced
if the vehicle is involved in a
collision that results in deployment
of front airbags and safety belt
pretensioners.
Automatic locking mode
In this mode, the shoulder belt is
automatically preĆlocked. The belt
will still retract to remove any slack
in the shoulder belt.
The automatic locking mode is not
available on the driver safety belt.
