The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in the same way as
an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) type of seat
belt. When the ignition switch is in the "ON" position
and if the vehicle stops suddenly, or if the occupant
tries to lean forward too quickly, the seat belt retractor
will lock into position. However, in certain frontal col-
lisions, the pretensioner will activate and pull the seat
belt into tighter contact against the occupant's body.
The seat belt pre-tensioner system consists mainly of
the following components.
EMSA3080
Your vehicle is equipped with driver’s and front pas-
senger’s pretensioner seat belts. The purpose of the
pre-tensioner is to make sure that the seat belts fit
tightly against the occupant’s body in certain frontal
collisions.
The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activated together
with the airbags, where the frontal collision is severe
enough.
Their locations are shown in the illustration.
