2 Seat belt pre-tensioner and force limiter
systems
N00417700582
The driver’s and front passenger’s seats each have a seat belt
equipped with a pre-tensioner system.Pre-tensioner systemThe driver and front passenger seat belts are equipped with a
seat belt pre-tensioner system. In a moderate-to-severe frontal
or side collision or when a rollover or overturning of the vehi-
cle is detected, the pre-tensioner system operates simulta-
neously with the deployment of the front airbags, side airbags
or curtain airbags.
The seat belt pre-tensioners are located in the driver’s and front
passenger’s seat belt retractors (A) and in the driver seat’s final
anchor (B). When activated, the pre-tensioners quickly draw
back seat belt webbing and increase seat belt performance.The seat belt pre-tensioner system includes the following com-
ponents:
The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic
parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the “ON”
or “START” position. These include all of the items listed
above and all related wiring.
The seat belt pre-tensioners will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.

turned to the “START” position, and the engine does not
start. In such a case, contact an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
