uuSeat Belts uAbout Your Seat Belts
40
Safe DrivingThe front seats are equipped with automatic
seat belt tensioners to enhance safety.
The tensioners automatically tighten the front
seat belts during a moderate-to-severe frontal
collision, sometimes even if the collision is not
severe enough to inflate the front airbags or
the driver’s knee airbag.
Are the motor-powered pretensioners that
start to retract the front seat belts when the
CMBS
TM, brake assist system, or VSA ® system
is in operation. They may also activate when
you steer the vehicle hard, or the vehicle is
impacted. After being retracted, the seat belts
are slackened to thei r original positions.
As convenience features , the e-pretensioners
slightly retract the seat belts when you latch
the seat belt buckle, depress the brake pedal
more aggressively than you normally do, or
make a sharp turn, and fully retract when you
release the seat belt buckle.
■Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners1 Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners
The seat belt tensioners can only operate once.
If a tensioner is activated, the SRS indicator will come
on. Have a dealer replace the tensioner and
thoroughly inspect the seat belt system as it may not
offer protection in a subsequent crash.
During a moderate-to-sev ere side impact, the
tensioner on that side of the vehicle also activates.
■Seat Belt e-pretensioners1 Seat Belt e-pretensioners
If only the e-pretensione rs were activated, no
components need to be replaced.
The e-pretensioners may not work if:
•Supplemental Restraint Sy stem Indicator is on.•Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA®) System Indicator is
on.
•A warning message for e- pretensioners appears on
the multi-information display.
