measures when it is activated:
RThe front seat belts are pre-tensioned
automatically.
The automatic comfort-fit feature reduces the
retracting force of the seat belts when they
are in normal use. It is available for the front
seats and for the rear outer seats (only for
vehicles with rear power seats).
RIf the front passenger seat is in an
unfavorable position, the seat will be
adjusted to a position that seeks to better
protect the occupant.

is in an unfavorable position, the seat will
be adjusted to a position that seeks to
better protect the occupant.

If the closing procedure of any of these
elements is blocked, it will stop and open
slightly.
Once the hazardous situation no longer exists
and an accident has been avoided, the PRE-
SAFE® system loosens the seat belt pre-
