This safety belt system has a retractor assembly that is

designed to release webbing in a controlled manner. This

feature is designed to help reduce the belt force acting on

the occupant’s chest.

WARNING!

•

The belt and retractor assembly must be replaced

if the seat belt assembly “automatic locking re-

tractor” feature or any other seat belt function is

not working properly when checked according to

the procedures in the Service Manual.

•

Failure to replace the belt and retractor assembly

could increase the risk of injury in collisions.

Seat Belt Pretensioners

The driver and front passenger seat belts are equipped

with a pretensioning device that is designed to remove

any slack from the seat belt systems in the event of a

collision. This device improves the performance of the

seat belt by assuring that the belt is tight around the

occupant early in a collision. Pretensioners work for all

size occupants, including those in child restraints.

NOTE: These devices are not a substitute for proper seat

belt placement by the occupant. The seat belt must still be

worn snugly and positioned properly.

The pretensioners are triggered by the Occupant Re-

straint Control (ORC) Module. Like the front airbags, the

pretensioners are a single use item. After a collision that

is severe enough to deploy the airbags and pretensioners,

they must be replaced.
