Safety Belt Retractor Pretensioner - Hybrid Vehicles Only
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mercury Mariner and 2007 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
As part of the SRS, the driver safety belt retractor for the Hybrid vehicles is equipped with a pretensioner. The pretensioner removes excess slack from the safety belt webbing. The pretensioner is activated by the RCM when the module detects an impact event force exceeding a programmed limit.
