A seatbelt effectively controls the movement of the occupants within the limited cabin space and is designed to reduce the impact on their chests. Seatbelts are designed to maintain comfort during a normal drive, but they will firmly restrain occupants during a collision.
Front Seatbelt Pretensioner mechanism instantaneously retracts the seatbelts when a strong impact is sensed during a frontal collision, thereby quickly clinching the seatbelts.
Force limiter mechanism keeps adequate tension force on the seatbelt to help avoid the overload force applied to the chest. These devices together help reduce the seatbelt impact to the chest while reducing the distance the occupant's chest moves during a collision.
