Seat belt pretensioners

Reversible seat belt pretensioners

Reversible seat belt pretensioners is a system in the front seats that pulls the seat belts slightly taut prior to a collision. This function helps position the front seat occupants to help improve the effects of other safety systems, e.g., the airbag system.

Seat belt pretensioners in collisions

The seat belts are equipped with standard pretensioners that are triggered according to the severity of a collision.

Seat belt pretensioners in critical situations

In addition to the standard pretensioners, the seat belts in the front seats are also equipped with electric pretensioners.

The pretensioners interact and can be triggered along with the City Safety and Rear Collision Warning systems. In critical situations such as sudden braking, evasive maneuvers, etc., the seat belt can be pulled taut by the pretensioner's electric motor.

The electric pretensioner positions the occupant in the seat to help reduce the risk of striking the interior of the passenger compartment and improves the effect of other safety systems such as the airbags.
