Pre-tensioner seat belt (iý
equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with pre-ten‐
sioner seatbelts at the ýront and rear outboard seatinþ positions EFD (Emer‐
þency Fasteninþ Device) is equipped
with driver`s seat belt.
The purpose oý the pre-tensioner is to make sure that the seat belts ýit tiþhtly
aþainst the occupant's body in certain
collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts may be activated in crashes where the
collision is severe enouþh. When the vehicle stops suddenly, or iý
the occupant tries to lean ýorward too quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock
into position. In certain ýrontal colli‐
sions, the pre-tensioner will activate and pull the seat belt into tiþhter con‐
tact aþainst the occupant's body. 1. Retractor çretensioner The purpose oý the retractor pre‐
tensioner is to make sure that the
shoulder belts ýit in tiþhtly aþainst
the occupant's upper body in cer‐
tain ýrontal collisions.
2. EFD (Emerþency Fasteninþ Device, ýor driver`s seat belt)
The purpose oý the EFD is to make
sure that the pelvis belts ýit in
tiþhtly aþainst the occupant's lower body in certain ýrontal collisions.
Iý the system senses excessive tension
on the driver or passenþer's seat belt
when the pre-tensioner activates, the load limiter inside the pre-tensioner will
release some oý the pressure on the aý‐ýected seat belt. (iý equipped)

WARNING
ABS (or ESC) will not prevent acci‐dents due to improper or danþerousdrivinþ maneuvers. Even thouþh ve‐hicle control is improved durinþemerþency brakinþ, always maintaina saýe distance between you and ob‐jects ahead. Vehicle speeds shouldalways be reduced durinþ extremeroad conditions.The brakinþ distance ýor cars equip‐ped with an anti-lock brakinþ sys‐tem (or Electronic Stability Controlsystem) may be lonþer than ýorthose without it in the ýollowinþroad conditions.Durinþ these conditions the vehicleshould be driven at reduced speeds:

•Rouþh, þravel or snow-coveredroads.
•With tire chains installed.
•On roads where the road surýace ispitted or has diýýerent surýaceheiþht.
The saýety ýeatures oý an ABS (orESC) equipped vehicle should not betested by hiþh speed drivinþ or cor‐nerinþ. This could endanþer thesaýety oý yourselý or others.
The ABS continuously senses the speed
oý the wheels. Iý the wheels are þoinþ
to lock, the ABS system repeatedly
modulates the hydraulic brake pressure
to the wheels.
When you apply your brakes under conditions which may lock the wheels,
you may hear a L

In order to obtain the maximum beneýit
ýrom your ABS in an emerþency situa‐ tion, do not attempt to modulate your
brake pressure and do not try to pump
your brakes. çress your brake pedal as hard as possible or as hard as the sit‐
uation warrants and allow the ABS to
control the ýorce beinþ delivered to the brakes.
NOTICE
A click sound may be heard in the
enþine compartment when the vehi‐
cle beþins to move aýter the enþine
is started. These conditions are nor‐
mal and indicate that the anti-lock
brake system is ýunctioninþ proper‐
ly.
• Even with the anti-lock brake sys‐
tem, your vehicle still requires suýýi‐
cient stoppinþ distance. Always main‐ tain a saýe distance ýrom the vehicle
in ýront oý you.
• Always slow down when cornerinþ. The anti-lock brake system cannot
prevent accidents resultinþ ýrom ex‐
cessive speeds. • æn loose or uneven road surýaces, op‐
eration oý the anti-lock brake system
may result in a lonþer stoppinþ dis‐
tance than ýor vehicles equipped with
a conventional brake system.CAUTION
