Warning: The front seat belts on some models are equipped with pre-tensioners, which are pyrotechnic (explosive) devices designed to retract the seat belts in the event of a collision. On models equipped with pre-tensioners, do not remove the front seat belt retractor assemblies, and do not disconnect the electrical connectors leading to the assemblies. Problems with the pre-tensioners will turn on the SRS (airbag) warning light on the dash. If any pretensioner problems are suspected, take the vehicle to a dealer service department.
Warning: On models with side-impact airbags, be sure to disarm the airbag system before beginning this procedure (see Chassis electrical system).
