Emergency tensioning device (ETD),
seat belt force limiter
In an impact, emergency tensioning
devices remove slack from the belts in
such a way that the seat belts fit more
snugly against the body. Belt force limiters
reduce the force exerted by the seat belts
on occupants during a crash.
ț
Belts should not be worn twisted. In a
crash, you would not have the full width
of the belt to distribute impact forces.
The twisted belt against your body could
cause injuries.
The seat belts for the front and rear seats
are equipped with emergency tensioning
devices and belt force limiters.
ț
Pregnant women should also use a
lap-shoulder belt. The lap belt portion
should be positioned as low as possible
on the hips to avoid any possible pres-
sure on the abdomen.
The ETD is designed to activate in the
following cases:

When using a seat belt to secure infant
or toddler restraints or children in
booster seats, always follow the child
seat manufacturer's instructions.

The ETDs for the front seats will only
activate if the respective front seat belt
is fastened (latch plate properly insert-
ed into buckle).
PRE-SAFE®* has electrically operated
reversible pre-tensioners that do not require
replacement after activation.
The ETDs for the rear seats will activate
with or without the respective seat belt
fastened.
