Seat Belt Buckle: Description and Operation
Safety Belt Buckle and Pretensioner
The safety belt buckle and pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device that removes excess webbing from the safety belt when deployed. The pretensioner works
in conjunction with the front air bag system. When the front air bags deploy, the pretensioners deploy, causing the buckle to move downward, removing
excess webbing from the lap and shoulder safety belts
If the vehicle is involved in a collision that results in deployment of the front air bags and safety belt pretensioners, a new driver and passenger seat belt
system (including safety belt buckle and pretensioners, safety belt retractors, and height adjusters), must be installed. For safety belt buckle pretensioner
diagnostic information, see AIR BAG AND SAFETY BELT PRETENSIONER SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS).
For safety belt buckle pretensioner disposal information, see SAFETY BELT PRETENSIONER DISPOSAL DEPLOYED.
