Safety Belt Retractor Pretensioners

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Milan, 2010 Lincoln MKZ, and 2010 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The safety belt retractor pretensioners remove excess slack from the safety belt webbing. The pretensioners are activated by the RCM  when the module detects a crash event force exceeding a programmed limit.
