Seat belt force limiter

The seat belts are the primary restraint system for all occupants. To minimize the force in the chest area of the occupants in the event of a severe frontal collision, the front seat belts are equipped as-series standard with belt tension limiters. The mechanical belt tension limiters ensure that the seatbelt strap has a defined flexibility as of a certain force. The danger of injury due to belt forces exerted on the body is reduced.
