Pregnant women/child
The use of a seat belt is recom-
mended for pregnant women/child to
reduce the risk of injury in an acci-
dent. The lap belt should be fastened
as low and snugly as possible across
the hips, not across the abdomen.
For specific recommendations, con-
sult a physician.
Pre-tensioner seat belt
(if equipped)
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 tightly fits against the
occupant's body in certain frontal
collisions. The pre-tensioner seat
belt is activated in a crash where the
frontal colliding impact is severe
enough.
When the vehicle suddenly stops, or
when the occupant lean forward too
quickly, the seat belt retractor will
lock in position. In a certain frontal
collision, the pre-tensioner will acti-
vate and slightly retract the seat belt
to tightly restrain the occupant's
body.
When the system detects excessive
tension on the driver's or the front
passenger's seat belt, the load lim-
iter inside the pre-tensioner releases
some pressure on the affected seat
belt. (if equipped)

For your safety, make sure that
the belt webbing is not loose or
twisted and always sit properly
on your seat.
