SEATS AND RESTRAINT SYSTEMS Safety Belt Pretensioner System EXAMPLE pretensioners. For precautions and general information including servicing the pretensioner system, refer to the "Supplemental Restraint System (air bags)" section in addition to this "Safety Belt Pretensioner System" section, and follow all those precautions. The pretensioner is located in each front safety belt retractor. The pretensioner tightens the safety belt so the belt fits the occupant's body more snugly in the event of a frontal crash. The retractors will remain locked after the pretensioners are activated. Upon activation, some noise will occur and some smoke may be released. These conditions are not harmful and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle. The driver and all passengers must be properly restrained by wearing safety belts at all times, whether or not a pretensioner is equipped at their seating position, to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash. Sit fully back in the seat; sit up straight; do not lean forward or sideways. Adjust the belt so the lap portion of the belt is worn low across the pelvis, not across the waist. Please refer to the "Front Seats" section and the instructions and precautions about the safety belts in this "Safety Belts" section for details on proper seat and safety belt adjustments. Please note that the pretensioners will activate only in severe frontal collisions. They are not designed to activate in rear 85Z018 52D011 WARNING To minimize risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash, always wear the rear center safety belt with both latches buckled.
