Honda CR-V: Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners
Honda CR-V (2006–2011) Owner's Manual / Driver and Passenger Safety / Additional Information About Your Seat Belts / Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners
For added protection, the front seat belts are equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners. When activated, the tensioners immediately tighten the belts to help hold the driver and a front passenger in position.
The tensioners are designed to activate in any collision severe enough to cause the front airbags to deploy, or if a sensor detects your vehicle is about to roll over.
The tensioners can also be activated during a collision in which the front airbags do not deploy. In this case, the airbags would not be needed, but the extra tension in the seat belt could be helpful.
When the tensioners are activated, the seat belts will remain tight until they are unbuckled.
