Pyrotechnic pretensioners and load limiters seat belts installed in the front seat
For better protection in a crash seat belts installed on the driver and front passenger are equipped with pyrotechnic pretensioners and load limiters. When a sufficiently strong frontal (or near-frontal) collision of a vehicle is a simultaneous activation of the front airbags and seat belt pretensioners. Pretensioners provide rapid tightening seat belts and eliminate the slack in the seatbelt during deployment airbags. Seat belt pretensioners will not be able to provide effective protection for people in the road accident if the seat belts fastened properly. Load limiter seat belt, working in a controlled manner, takes the strap in order to reduce the burden on the chest of the passenger to a safe level. If the vehicle is equipped with a switch front passenger airbag), in order to seat belt could work in a collision of a vehicle, the airbag switch must be in position ?�ON?� (included).

Seat belt pretensioners are activated only when a sufficiently strong frontal (or near-frontal) collision of a vehicle. Pretensioners, as a rule, do not work when you turn the vehicle in side impacts and rear impact. When inflated airbags and pretensioners triggered emits smoke, which is not toxic. The appearance of smoke is not a sign of any fire. Typically, this gas has no adverse effect on the health of occupants of the vehicle. However, people with sensitive skin may experience light skin irritation. If your skin or eyes got any particles or residues from deployed airbags or pretensioners, immediately rinse these particles with water.
