Additional Information About Your Seat Belts Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners The tensioners are designed to activate primarily in frontal collisions. The tensioners are independent of the airbag system, so they can be activated during a collision that might not cause the airbags to deploy. In this case, the airbags would not be needed but the additional seat belt tension can be helpful. The tensioners will be activated in a collision severe enough to cause the front airbags to inflate. For added protection, the front seat belts are equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners. When activated, the tensioners immediately tighten the belts to help hold the driver and a front passenger in place. When the tensioners are activated, the seat belts will remain tight until they are unbuckled in the normal way. The SRS indicator light will come on if there is a problem with your automatic seat belt tensioners (see page 57 ). 52 Driver and Passenger Safety
