Seat belt with ELR and pretensioner
The seat belt with ELR and a pretensioner has a pretensioner mechanism which operates in linkage with the air
bag in addition to the above described ELR. The pretensioner takes up the sag of the seat belt in occurrence of
a front collision with an impact larger than a certain set value, thereby enhancing restraint performance.
Driver and front passenger air bags and seat belt pretensioners
With the air bag system which includes air bags for both the driver’s and passenger’s sides as well as the seat
belt pretensioners, the pretensioner takes up the sag of the seat belt, the driver air bag (inflator) module is
deployed from the center of the steering column and the passenger air bag (inflator) module from the top of the
instrument panel in front of the front passenger seat in occurrence of a front collision with an impact larger than
a certain set value to supplement protection offered by the driver and front passenger seat belts.
SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER (IF EQUIPPED)
Some seat belts of the driver and front passenger seats are provided with a pretensioner as an optional function
unit. The pretensioner is incorporated in retractor assembly and controlled by SDM as one of air bag system com-
ponents. It will be activated at the same time as the air bag when an impact at the front of vehicle exceeds the
specified value.
When servicing seat belt (retractor assembly) with pretensioner, be sure to observe all WARNINGS and CAU-
TIONS in this section and SERVICE PRECAUTIONS under ON-VEHICLE SERVICE in SECTION 10B.
