3-12 Seats and Restraints Pretensioners work only once. If the pretensioners activate in a crash, the pretensioners and probably other parts of the vehicle's safety belt system will need to be replaced. See Replacing Safety Belt System Parts after a Crash on page 3‑15. There is one guide for each outboard passenger position in the rear seat. Here is how to install a comfort guide to the safety belt: Before a door is closed, be sure the safety belt is out of the way. If a door is slammed against a safety belt, damage can occur to both the safety belt and the vehicle. 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 or near frontal crash if the threshold conditions for pretensioner activation are met. If the vehicle has side impact airbags, safety belt pretensioners can help tighten the safety belts in a side crash. And, if the vehicle has roof-rail airbags the safety belt pretensioners can help tighten the safety belts during a rollover crash. Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides Rear shoulder belt comfort guides may provide added safety belt comfort for older children who have outgrown booster seats and for some adults. When installed on a shoulder belt, the comfort guide positions the shoulder belt away from the neck and head. 1. Pull the elastic cord out from between the edge of the seatback and the interior body to remove the guide from its storage clip.
