Seat Belt Pretensioners
Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder  System
(BeltAlert)
The  seat belt  assem blies  for both  front  seating  positions
are  equ ipped   with   pretensioning    devices  that   are  de-
signed  to rem ove  slack from  the  seat belt  in the  event  of
a collision.  These devices  improve  the perform  ance of the
seat  belt   by  assu ring  that   the  belt   is  tight   abou t  the
occupant  early  in  a collision.  Pretensioners   are  designed
to work  for  all size  occupants.
If the  driver’s   seat belt  has  not  been  buckled   within  60
second s of starting  the  vehicle  and  if the vehicle  speed  is  2
greater   than  5  mph   (8 km/  h),  BeltAlert   will  alert  the
driver   or front   passenger   to buckle   their  seat  belt.  The
driver  shou ld  also instru ct  all other  occupants   to buckle
their  seat  belts. Once  the  warning   is triggered ,  BeltAlert
will  continu e  to chim e and   flash  the Seat  Belt  Warning
Light  for  96  second s  or  until   the  driver’s   seat  belt   is
buckled .
NOTE:   These  devices are  not a substitu te for  prop er seat
belt placem ent  by the occupant.  The seat  belt still must  be
worn  snu gly and  positioned   prop erly.
BeltAlert   will   be  reactivated    if  the   driver’s   or   front
passenger’s    seat  belt   is  unbu ckled   for  more   than   10
second s and  the  vehicle  speed   is greater   than  5 mph  (8
km/  h).
The pretensioners    are  triggered  by  the  front  airbag  con-
trol  module  (see  Airbag  Section).  Like the  front  airbags,
the  pretensioners   are  single  use  item s. After   a collision
that  is severe  enou gh  to deploy   the  airbags  and  preten-
sioners,  both  must  be  rep laced .
BeltAlert  can be  enabled  or disabled   by you r authorized
