Seat Belt Pretensioner Equipment
The configuration of seat belt pretensioner
equipment may vary with different vehicle models.
–
The seat belt restrains the driver and
passengers to sit in a suitable position,
preventing the body over tilting forward before
the collision.
–
The seat belt pretensioners will be activated
by the electronic control unit in the event of a
severe collision, and then the pretensioner will
drive the seatbelt webbing tighten by
immediate pulling back.
–
In the event of collision, the driver's body will
move forward then the seat belt pretensioners
activate, to make the restraining force to the
body at a certain range, preventing a further
injury towards the driver; at the same time, the
seat belt pretensioners activate in conjunction
with the airbag to provide an optimal protection.
Hint
•
When being initiated, the pretensioner
equipment releases little harmless smoke and
generates sound, which is normal.
•
After collision, initiated pretensioner equipment
cannot be reused, and the airbag indicator
light
is continuously on. Please contact
GAC MOTOR dealer for replacement.
