Safety Belt Pretensioners

This vehicle has safety belt
pretensioners for the front outboard
occupants. Although the safety belt
pretensioners cannot be seen, they
are part of the safety belt assembly.
They can help tighten the safety
belts during the early stages of a
moderate to severe frontal, near
frontal, or rear crash if the threshold
conditions for pretensioner
activation are met. And, for vehicles
with side impact airbags, safety belt
pretensioners can help tighten the
safety belts in a side crash or a
rollover event.

Pretensioners work only once. If the
pretensioners activate in a crash,
they will need to be replaced, and
probably other new parts for the
vehicle's safety belt system. See
Replacing Safety Belt System Parts
After a Crash on page 3‑29

Rear Safety Belt Comfort
Guides

This vehicle may have rear shoulder
belt comfort guides. If not, they are
available through your dealer/
retailer. The guides may provide
added safety belt comfort for older
children who have outgrown booster
seats and for some adults. When
installed and properly adjusted, the
comfort guide positions the shoulder
belt away from the neck and head.

Here is how to install a comfort
guide to the safety belt:

Outboard Positions

1. For the outboard positions,

remove the guide from its
storage clip on the interior body.

For the third row center
position, locate the comfort
guide which is located in a
storage pocket, at the top of
the seat, under the headrest on
the driver's side of the vehicle.
