Front Seat Belt

Pretensioner and Load

Limiting Systems

For optimum protection, the driver and
front passenger seat belts are equipped
with pretensioner and load limiting
systems. For both these systems to work
properly you must wear the seat belt
properly.
 

Pretensioners:

When a collision is detected, the
pretensioners deploy simultaneously with
the air bags.
For deployment details, refer to the SRS
Air Bag Deployment Criteria (page 2-
56).
The front seat belt retractors remove slack
quickly as the air bags are expanding. Any
time the air bags and seat belt
pretensioners have fired they must be
replaced.
A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page
4-30.
Refer to Air Bag/Front Seat Belt
Pretensioner System Warning Beep on
page 7-39.

(With Front Passenger Occupant
Classification System)

In addition, the pretensioner system for the
front passenger, like the front and side
passenger air bag, is designed to only deploy
when the front passenger occupant
classification sensor detects a passenger
sitting on the front passenger's seat.
For details, refer to the front passenger
occupant classification sensor (page 2-59).
