from getting into the belt retractors.

Safety belt reminder >. See Safety

belt reminders on page 85.

Belt force limiters

In the front seats, stress on the body

is reduced by the gradual release of

the belt during a collision.

Belt tensioners

This vehicle has safety belt

pre-tensioners for front outboard

occupants. Although the safety belt

pre-tensioners cannot be seen, they

are part of the safety belt assembly.

They can help tighten the safety belts

during the early stages of a moderate

to severe frontal and near frontal

crash if the threshold conditions for

pre-tensioner activation are met.

Pre-tensioners work only once. If the

pre-tensioners activate in a crash,

the pre-tensioners and probably

other new parts of the vehicle’s

safety belt system will be need to be

replaced.

GO3E3017A

In the event of a head-on or side or

rear-end collision of a certain

severity, the front safety belts are

tightened.

Deployment of the belt tensioners is

indicated by illumination of control

indicator 9.

See Airbag and safety belt tensioner

light on page 86.

Triggered belt tensioners must be

replaced by a repairer. Belt

tensioners can only be triggered

once.

Note

Do not affix or install accessories

or other objects that may interfere

with the operation of the belt

tensioners.

{Warning

Incorrect handling (e.g. removal or

fitting of belts or belt buckles) can

trigger the belt tensioners with risk

of injury.
