COMPONENTS

1. Front Seat Belt Anchor Pretensioner

Description and Operation

Description

The seat belt pretensioners (BPT) are installed inside the center pillar (left and right). In the event of a frontal collision of a certain severity, the seat belt pretensioner reduces the severity of injuries to the front seat occupants by pulling the seat belt webbing, which prevents them from moving forward and striking the steering wheel or instrument panel during a collision. (The seat belt pretensioner may also deploy during a side impact if the vehicle is equipped with side airbags or curtain airbags.)
