Load Limiter Retractor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda RX-8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
  • When the load limiter operates, the belt and anchor rub against each other strongly leaving wear tracks. If the seat belt is used in this state, the seat belt will not function as its full capability and there is the possibility of serious injury to passengers. Be sure to replace the seat belt once the load limiter operates.
  1. If the vehicle has been subjected to a shock in an accident, pull the belt from the retractor and confirm that there are no wear tracks (the load limiter has not operated) by visually inspecting and feeling the belt.
    • If there is any malfunction, replace the seat belt.
