BELT AND RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED if

the safety belt assembly “automatic locking retractor” feature or

any other safety belt function is not operating properly when checked

according to the procedures in Workshop Manual.

Energy Management Feature

• This vehicle has a safety belt system with an energy management

feature at the front outboard seating positions to help further reduce

the risk of injury in the event of a head-on collision.

• This safety belt system has a retractor assembly that is designed to

pay out webbing in a controlled manner. This feature is designed to

help reduce the belt force acting on the occupant’s chest.

Safety belt pretensioner

Your vehicle is equipped with safety belt pretensioners at the driver and

front outboard passenger seating positions.

The safety belt pretensioners are designed to activate during certain

frontal or near-frontal collisions with sufficient longitudinal deceleration.

A safety belt pretensioner is a device which tightens the webbing of the

lap and shoulder belts in such a way that they fit more snugly against

the body.

The driver and front outboard passenger safety belt system (including

retractors, buckle assembly, pretensioner assembly with seat and height

adjusters) must be replaced if the vehicle is involved in a collision that

results in the activation of the safety belt pretensioners. Refer to the

Safety belt maintenance section in this chapter.

Failure to replace the safety belt assembly under the above

conditions could result in severe personal injuries in the event of

a collision.

Front safety belt height adjustment

Your vehicle has safety belt height adjustments for the driver and front

passenger. Adjust the height of the shoulder belt so the belt rests across

the middle of your shoulder.
