Seat belt pre-tensioner and force limiter

The driver's and front passenger's seats each have a seat belt
equipped with a pre-tensioner system.
Pre-tensioner system
The driver and front passenger seat belts are equipped with a
seat belt pre-tensioner system. In a moderate-to-severe frontal
or side collision or when a rollover or overturning of the vehi-
cle is detected, the pre-tensioner system operates simulta-
neously with the deployment of the front airbags, side airbags
or curtain airbags.
The seat belt pre-tensioners are located in the driver's and front
passenger's seat belt retractors (A) and in the driver seat's final
anchor (B). When activated, the pre-tensioners quickly draw
back seat belt webbing and increase seat belt performance.
