Seat Belt Pre-tensioner with Load Limiter=NJRS0034The seat belt pre-tensioner system with load limiter is installed to
both the driver's seat and the front passenger's seat. It operates
simultaneously with the SRS air bag system in the event of a fron-
tal collision with an impact exceeding a specified level.
When the frontal collision with an impact exceeding a specified
level occurs, seat belt slack resulting from clothing or other factors
is immediately taken up by the pre-tensioner. Vehicle passengers
are securely restrained.
When passengers in a vehicle are thrown forward in a collision and
the restraining force of the seat belt exceeds a specified level, the
load limiter permits the specified extension of the seat belt by the
twisting of the ELR shaft, and a relaxation of the chest-area seat
belt web tension while maintaining force.
