Pre-crash seat belts (front seats of vehicles with pre-crash safety

If the pre-crash sensor detects that a collision is unavoidable, the pre-

crash safety system will retract the seat belt, thus enhancing the

effectiveness of the seat belt pretensioner in a crash.

The same will happen if the driver makes an emergency braking or loses

control of the vehicle. (P. 307)

The pretensioner helps the seat

belt to quickly restrain the occu-

pant by retracting the seat belt

when the vehicle is subjected to

certain types of severe frontal or

side collision.

The pretensioner does not acti-

vate in the event of a minor frontal

impact, a minor side impact, a

rear impact or a vehicle rollover.
