Supplemental Restraint System

ADAPTIVE LOAD LIMITING SAFETY BELT RETRACTOR

This vehicle is equipped with driver and passenger adaptive load limiting retractors. Adaptive load limiting retractors are pyrotechnic devices integrated to the driver and passenger safety belt retractor assemblies. Adaptive load limiting retractors work in conjunction with the safety belt buckle pretensioners and control the tension of the driver and passenger seat belts in the event of a deployable collision. The RCM monitors the readiness of the adaptive load limiting retractors. The RCM uses this information and all other information provided by the restraints system to determine what action is to be taken.
