Safety Belt (Adaptive Load Limiting) Retractor

This vehicle is equipped with driver and front passenger adaptive load limiter retractors. Adaptive load limiter retractors are pyrotechnic devices integrated to the driver and passenger safety belt retractor assemblies. Adaptive load limiter retractors work in conjunction with the safety belt buckle pretensioners and control the tension of the driver and passenger seat belts in the event of a deployable collision. The RCM  monitors the readiness of the adaptive load limiter retractors. The RCM  uses this information and all other information provided by the restraints system to determine what action is to be taken.
