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.
  1. If the vehicle has been subjected to a shock in an accident, pull the belt from the retractor and confirm that there is no trace of wear (the load limiter has not operated) by visually inspecting and feeling the belt.
    • If not as specified, replace the seat belt.
