For added safety, the front seat belts
are equipped with the
e-pretensioners that work in
combination with the collision
mitigation brake system (CMBS) to
maximize the restraining ability of
the belts. For more information on
the CMBS, see page
.
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
).
The e-pretensioners do not activate
when the seat belts are not worn or
when the 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
). If only the
e-pretensioners were activated, no
components need to be replaced.
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 seat belts.
