Seat Belt e-pretensioners
On models with Collision Mitigation
Braking System
™ (CMBS™)
For added safety, the front seat belts
are equipped with e-pretensioners
that work in combination with the
collision mitigation braking system
™
(CMBS ™) (see page 498 ) and the
brake pedal assist function (see page
495 ).
If your vehicle gets too close to the
vehicle ahead of it in your lane, the
driver's e-pretensioner slightly
retracts the seat belt to alert the
driver of the approaching vehicle. If a
collision with the vehicle in front of
you is likely, the e-pretensioners on
both front seats retract the seat belts
with enough force to properly
restrain you and your front
passenger. After they activate, the e-
pretensioners release the retracted
seat belts.
To get the full benefit of the e-
pretensioners, you and your front
passenger must sit normally in your
seats and wear your seat belts
properly (see page
16 ).
The e-pretensioners do not activate
when the vehicle stability assist
(VSA) off indicator on the instrument
panel is on.
If the automatic seat belt tensioners
are activated by a collision, both front
seat belts and all related components
must be replaced (see page
25 ). If
only the e-pretensioners were
activated, no components need to be
replaced.
In addition, the front passenger's e-
pretensioner does not activate when
the passenger's airbag is
automatically turned off because the
weight sensor detects a child in the
front passenger's seat.
