DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Pretensioner

1 Seat belt buckle
2 Electrical connector
3 Piston
4 Piston housing
5 Direction of piston travel

6 Expanding gas
7 Squib/Gas generator
8 Steel cable
9 Gaiter

The pretensioners are used to tighten the front seat belts during a collision to ensure the occupants are securely held 
in their seats. A pretensioner is integrated into each front seat belt buckle and attached to a bracket on the inboard 
side of the seat.

Each pretensioner has a tube containing propellant and a piston. The piston is attached to a steel cable, the opposite 
end of which is attached to the seat belt buckle. A squib in the base of the tube provides an ignition source when 
triggered by a fire signal from the DCU.

On receipt of a fire signal from the DCU, the squib ignites the propellant. The propellant produces nitrogen gas that 
rapidly expands to drive the piston along the tube, pulling the cable and drawing the buckle downwards.
