The seat belt pre-tensioner system includes
the following components:
The airbag control unit monitors the readiness
of the electronic parts of the system whenever
the ignition switch or the operation mode is
under the following conditions. These include
all of the items listed above and all related
wiring.
[Except for vehicles equipped with the
F.A.S.T.-key]
The ignition switch is in the “ON” or
“START” position.
[Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]
The operation mode is in ON.
The seat belt pre-tensioners will operate
under the same conditions as the airbag con-
trol unit.
When the seat belt pre-tensioners activate,
some smoke is released and a loud noise will
be heard. The smoke is not harmful, but care
should be taken not to intentionally inhale it,
as it may cause some temporary irritation to
people with respiratory problems.
The pre-tensioners activate in the event of a
moderate-to-severe front or side impact, even
if the seat belt is not being worn. The seat belt
pre-tensioners may not activate in certain col-
lisions, even though the vehicle may appear
to be severely damaged. Such non-activation
does not mean that something is wrong with
the seat belt pre-tensioner system, but rather
that the collision forces were not severe
enough to activate the system.
