Seat Belt Retractor: Technician Safety Information
WARNING:
-
After any vehicle collision, the safety belt system at all outboard seating positions (except driver, which has no "automatic locking
retractor" feature) must be checked by a qualified technician to verify that the "automatic locking retractor" feature for child seats is
still functioning properly, in addition to other checks for proper safety belt system function. A belt and retractor assembly must be
replaced if the safety belt assembly's "automatic locking retractor" feature or any other safety belt function is not operating properly
when checked according to the procedures. Failure to replace the Belt and Retractor assembly could increase the risk of injury in
collisions.
-
The safety belt buckle pretensioner and safety belt retractor pretensioner are pyrotechnic devices. Always wear safety glasses when
repairing an air bag equipped vehicle and when handling a safety belt buckle pretensioner or safety belt retractor pretensioner.
-
The safety belt buckle pretensioner and safety belt retractor pretensioner are pyrotechnic devices. Never probe a pretensioner electrical
connector. Doing so could result in pretensioner or air bag deployment and could result in personal injury.
-
After deployment, the air bag surface could contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a product of the gas generant combustion that is
irritating to the skin. Wash your hands with soap and water afterwards.
-
Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so could result in air bag deployment which could result in personal injury.
-
To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power supply must be depleted before repairing or replacing
any front or side air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) components and before servicing, replacing, adjusting or striking
components near the front or side air bag sensors, such as doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and hood latches.
Please refer to the appropriate Component or System to determine location of the front air bag sensors.
The side air bag sensors are located at or near the base of the B-pillar.
To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute. Be sure to disconnect
auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).
-
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, read and follow all warnings, cautions, notes, and instructions in the supplemental restraint
system deactivation/reactivation procedure and in the seat removal and installation procedure.
-
The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only. Remove from the vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove
could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards.
