This section is applicable to the following components.

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.
|
. 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.
