Load Limiter Retractor
WARNING: When the load limiter operates, the belt and anchor rub against each other strongly leaving a trace of wear. If the seat belt is used
in this state, the seat belt will not function to its designed effect and there is the possibility of serious injury to passengers. Be sure to replace the
seat belt once the load limiter operates.
