The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in
the same way as an Emergency Locking
Retractor (ELR) type of seat belt. When
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
collisions, the pretensioner will activate
and pull the seat belt into tighter contact
against the occupant’s body.
Your vehicle is equipped with driver’s
and front passenger’s pre-tensioner 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.
