The driver and front passenger's seat belt 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. Collosions occurring at certain speeds and angles may cause the seat belt pretensioners and SRS airbags not to operate all together. 2000 ECHO (OM52411U) 35
