SEAT, SEATBELT AND SRS AIRBAGS 65
– Front impact sensors – Side impact sensors – Rollover sensor
. Pretensioners are designed to function on a one-time-only basis. In the event that a pretensioner is activated, the seatbelt retractor assemblies equipped with seatbelt pretensioners should be replaced only by an authorized SUBARU dealer. When replacing seatbelt retractor assemblies, use only genuine SUBARU parts.
. If a seatbelt that has a seatbelt pretensioner does not retract or cannot be pulled out due to a malfunction or activation of the pretensioner, contact your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
. If the seatbelt retractor assembly or surrounding area has been damaged, contact your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
. When you sell your vehicle, we urge you to inform the buyer that the vehicle is equipped with seatbelt pretensioners. Also, notify the buyer of the contents in this section.
SEATBELT WITH SHOULDER BELT PRETENSIONER s01af01
NOTE
This section is applicable to the following components.
. Front passenger’ s seatbelt
. Rear passenger’ s seatbelt( windowside)
S _ 103084-W
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 window-side rear passenger’ s seatbelt pretensioner includes a tension reducing device that limits the peak forces exerted by the seatbelt on the occupant in the event of a collision.
The front passenger’ 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.
. Adaptive force limiter
The front passenger’ s side adaptive force limiter will select a reducing load to the suit body size of the occupant as detected by the occupant detection sensor.
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 cannot be pulled out and retracted and therefore must be replaced.
