& Seatbelt with shoulder belt pretensioner
S01AF01
NOTE
This section is applicable to the following components .
. Driver ’ s seatbelt
Front seatbelt pretensioner
The pretensioner sensor also serves as follows .
. SRS frontal airbag sensor
. Side impact sensor . Front door impact sensor . Rollover sensor
If the sensor detects a certain predetermined amount of force during frontal or side collisions or rollover accidents , any seatbelt that has a seatbelt pretensioner is quickly drawn back in by the retractor to take up the slack so that the belt more effectively restrains the seat occupant .
The driver ’ s seatbelt pretensioner includes a tension reducing device which limits the peak forces exerted by the seatbelt on the occupant in the event of a collision .
When a seatbelt pretensioner is activated , an operating noise will be heard and a small amount of smoke will be released . These occurrences are normal and not harmful . This smoke does not indicate a fire in the vehicle .
Once the seatbelt pretensioner has been activated , the seatbelt retractor remains locked . Consequently , the seatbelt can not be pulled out and retracted and therefore must be replaced .
! In cases of rollover accident , frontal collisions or side collisions , the following components will operate simultaneously
