Seat belt pretensioner system and force limiter system

The driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat each have a seat belt equipped with a pretensioner system.

Pretensioner system

The pretensioner system will retract their respective seat belts instantaneously, thus maximizing the seat belt’s effectiveness, if there is a frontal impact severe enough to injure the driver and/or front passenger and the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.
