Inflatable Safety Belt System (if equipped)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The inflatable safety belt system uses a pyrotechnic device to release an inert gas under pressure from an inflator to fill and expand the inflatable shoulder belt. The pyrotechnic device (safety belt inflator) deploys upon receipt of current from the RCM. The RCM monitors the readiness of the safety belt inflator and uses this information, as well as other information provided by the restraints system, to determine if inflatable safety belt deployment is appropriate.

To diagnose any safety belt inflator Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs): Refer to: Airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) .

For any concerns regarding safety belt buckle or retractor function: Refer to: Seatbelt Systems .

When replacing safety belt buckles or retractor assemblies use only the replacement parts specified .
