Safety Belt Retractor Pretensioners
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
This vehicle is equipped with driver and front passenger safety belt retractor pretensioners. Safety belt retractor pretensioners are pyrotechnic devices integrated to the driver and front passenger safety belt retractor assemblies. The safety belt retractor pretensioners control the tension of the driver and passenger safety belts in the event of a deployable collision. The restraints control module (RCM) monitors the readiness of the safety belt retractor pretensioners. The RCM uses this information and all other information provided by the restraints system to determine what action is to be taken.
