Safety features of your vehicle  
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,  
the pre-tensioner will activate and pull  
the seat belt into tighter contact against  
the occupant'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.

To release the seat belt:  
Pre-tensioner seat belt  
The seat belt is released by pressing the  
release button (A) in the locking buckle.  
When it is released, the belt should auto-  
matically draw back into the retractor.  
WARNING  
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. The pre-tensioner seat  
belts may be activated in crashes where  
the frontal collision is severe enough.  
For your safety, be sure that the  
belt webbing is not loose or twisted  
and always sit properly on your  
seat.  
If this does not happen, check the belt to  
be sure it is not twisted, then try again.

NOTICE  
WARNING  
To obtain maximum benefit from a  
pre-tensioner seat belt:  
• When the pre-tensioner seat belts are  
activated, a loud noise may be heard  
and fine dust, which may appear to be  
smoke, may be visible in the passenger  
compartment. These are normal oper-  
ating conditions and are not haz-  
ardous.  
• Although it is harmless, the fine dust  
may cause skin irritation and should  
not be breathed for prolonged peri-  
ods. Wash all exposed skin areas thor-  
oughly after an accident in which the  
pre-tensioner seat belts were activat-  
ed.  
• Because the sensor that activates the  
SRS air bag is connected with the pre-  
tensioner seat belt, the SRS air bag  
warning light on the instrument panel  
will illuminate for approximately 6  
seconds after the ignition switch has  
been turned to the ON position, and  
then it should turn off.  
1. The seat belt must be worn cor-  
rectly and adjusted to the proper  
position. Please read and follow  
all of the important information  
and precautions about your vehi-  
cle’s occupant safety features –  
including seat belts and air bags  
– that are provided in this manu-  
al.
