New Vehicle Technology
Seat Belt Pretensioner removes the seat belt slack to position the occupant for optimal seatbelt deployment. Pretensioners use an explosive charge when sensors detect the signature abrupt deceleration of an accident. The belt rapidly spools. That incredibly fast retraction of the belt fabric removes the slack from the belt instantly. Check it out in the videos below.
