SEATBELT Retractors
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The retractor of each seatbelt is attached to a bracket on the inner link casting of the related B or C pillar. The webbing runs from the retractor through a fixed D loop bracket at the top of the casting to an anchor point on the inner sill.
All of the seatbelt retractors incorporate an emergency locking function. The emergency locking function locks the retractor if the seatbelt is pulled out of the retractor too quickly, or if the vehicle is subjected to a sudden deceleration or severe tilt angle.
