-Front seat belt pretensioners CAUTION D After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked and that the seat belt extender is not twisted.

D If the seat belt does not function normally, immediately contact your EV service station. Do not use the seat until the seat belt is fixed. It cannot protect an adult occupant or your child from injury. The driver and front passenger's seat belts pretensioners are designed to be activated in response to a severe frontal impact. When the airbag sensor detects the shock of a severe frontal impact, the front seat belt is quickly drawn back in by the retractor so that the belt snugly restrains the front seat occupants. The seat belt pretensioners are activated even with no passenger in the front seat. This indicator comes on when the motor key is turned to the "ACC" or "ON" position. It goes off after about 6 seconds. This means the front seat belt pretensioners are operating properly. This warning light system monitors airbag sensor assembly, seat belt pretensioner assembly, warning light, interconnecting wiring and power sources.
