GF91.60-P-4043T Rear Emergency Tensioning Retractor, Component Description

Component Identification:

Location
The rear emergency tensioning retractors with the associated squibs are each located in the particular automatic belt retractor below the cover at the C-pillar on the left and right side of the vehicle.

Task
The emergency tensioning retractors remove the seat belt slack in the event of a head-on collision or a rear end collision and prevent the film reel effect of the rear seat belts from occurring. The closefitting seat belt means that vehicle occupants are exposed to the deceleration forces acting on the body at an earlier stage.
