SEAT BELT RETRACTOR WITH FORCE LIMITER
.The driver’s/front passenger’s seat belt retractor has been
equipped with a force limiter. The force limiter is a device which
operates when a predetermined force is applied, and limits the
force.
.
OPERATION
1. If a collision energy is transmi tted to the seat belt, the ELR
mechanism will operate to lock the seat belt.
2. If the energy increases to a predetermined value, the torsion bar will be distorted. As the spindle rotates together with the
torsion bar, the seat belt w ebbing is pulled out, reducing the
impact to the occupants.
