Pretensioner System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Pickup, 2004 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2004 Ford F450 Super Duty, 2004 Ford Excursion, and 2004 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

All Excursion and F-Super Duty vehicles have a pretensioner system for the front outboard occupants. The front outboard safety belt retractors or the front outboard safety belt buckles use a pretensioner system. This works in conjunction with the front air bag system mounted in the steering wheel and instrument panel.

If the vehicle is involved in a collision that results in deployment of the front air bags and safety belt pretensioners, the driver and passenger seat belt system (including safety belt buckle and pretensioners or safety belt retractor and pretensioners, safety belt retractors, safety belts, buckles and height adjusters), must be replaced.

For diagnostic information, refer to AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS .
