SUPPLEMENTARY RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
22
LOAD LIMITOR
In high speed frontal crashes, passenger moves for-
ward due to inertia at a very high speed. If the seat
belt gets locked during such crashes it may cause
injuries to the passenger as he is forcibly held by the
seatbelt against the inertia force.
Load limiters are provided to limit the seat belt loads
to a pre-defined value. Load limiters are to be used
only in airbag equipped vehicles. The load limiter
fitted inside the retractor unit is basically a torsion
bar. Whenever the belt load increases beyond the
pre-defined limit, some length of the belt is released
due to twisting of the torsion bar. The activation of
the load limiter does not depend on signal from the
ECU.
