Safety Belt Retractor And Side Impact Sensor - Ford Expedition Modifiers Manual

Installation Considerations

Safety Belt Retractor and Side Impact Sensor

The front safety belt retractors are located in the base of the B-pillars. The pretensioner located in
the buckle is referred to as the ''safety belt buckle pretensioner''. In the event of an air bag
deployment, pretensioners provide improved occupant protection by rapidly removing slack from
the safety belt. Removing slack from the safety belt helps to correctly position the occupant and
allows for maximum effectiveness of the safety belts and the air bags.
• Do not use the safety belt retractor bolts for mounting the partition.
• Do not mount any partition hardware on the B-pillar.
• Do not mount any partition hardware that will interfere with the correct sealing of the door.
