Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS)
Emergency Tensioning Retractor
(ETR)
In cases of other frontal impacts, roll-
overs, certain side impacts, rear
collisions, or other accidents without
frontal forces, the emergency
tensioning retractors will not be
activated. The driver and passenger
will then be protected by the fastened
seat belts and inertia reel in the usual
manner.
The SRS uses two crash severity levels
(thresholds) to activate either the ETR
or airbag or both. Activation depends
on exceeding the thresholds and
fastening of the seat belt.
The seat belts are equipped with
emergency tensioning retractors. These
tensioning retractors are located in each
belt's inertia reel and become
operationally ready with the key in
steering lock position 1 or 2.
Seat belt fastened
The emergency tensioning retractors are
designed to activate only when the seat
belts are fastened during major frontal
impacts within the shaded area shown.
They tighten the belts in such a way that
they fit more snugly against the body,
restricting its forward movement as
much as possible.
For seat belt and emergency tensioning
retractor safety guidelines, see Safety
Guidelines in Index.
