and Load Limiting Systems
For optimum protection, the driver and

with pretensioner and load limiting
systems. For both these systems to work
properly you must wear the seat belt
properly.
Pretensioners:
In moderate or severe frontal or near-
frontal accidents, the front air bag and
pretensioner systems deploy
simultaneously.

Air Bag Deployment Criteria (page 2-51).
The front seat belt retractors remove slack
quickly as the air bags are expanding.
Any time the air bags and seat belt
pretensioners have fired they must be
replaced.
A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.

passenger air bag, is designed to only
deploy in accordance with the total seated
weight on the front passenger seat.
