SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS

The seat belts for both front seating positions are

equipped withpretensioning devices that are designed to

remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a collision.

These devices improve the performance of the seat belt

by assuring that the belt is tight about the occupant early

in a collision. Pretensioners work for all size occupants,

including those in child restraints.

NOTE: These devicesare nota substitute for proper seat

belt placementby the occupant. The seat beltstill must be

worn snugly and positioned properly.

The pretensioners are triggered by the front airbag con-

trol module (see Airbag Section). Like the front airbags,

the pretensioners are single use items. After a collision

that is severe enough to deploy the airbags and preten-

sioners, both must be replaced.
