Safety Belt Buckle Pretensioners, Safety Belt Retractor Pretensioners and Adaptive Load Limiting Safety Belt Retractors - Remote Deployment
WARNING:
-
The safety belt pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device. Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag equipped vehicle and when
handling a safety belt buckle pretensioner or safety belt retractor pretensioner. Never probe a pretensioner electrical connector. Doing so
could result in pretensioner or air bag deployment and could result in personal injury.
-
Deployment is to be carried out outdoors with all personnel at least 9.14 meters (30 feet) away to make sure of personal safety. Due to the
loud report which occurs when the pretensioner or adaptive load limiting retractor is deployed, hearing protection is required.
NOTE: A typical safety belt buckle and retractor disposal is shown that is similar for all vehicles.
1. Make a container to house the safety belt buckle or retractor for deployment.
NOTE:
-
The tires must be of sufficient size to accommodate the safety belt buckle or retractor.
-
Obtain a tire and wheel assembly and an additional 4 tires (without wheels) of the same size.
-
With the tire and wheel assembly on the bottom, stack the tires.
-
Securely tie all of the tires together.
2. Depower the system. See DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING.
