Kia Soul EV: Seat Belt Pretensioner / Seat Belt Pretensioner (BPT) Description and Operation
The Seat Belt Pretensioners (BPT) are installed inside Center
Pillar (LH & RH). When a vehicle crashes with a certain degree of
frontal impact, the pretensioner seat belt helps to reduce the severity
of injury to the front seat occupants by retracting the seat belt
webbing. This prevents the front occupants from thrusting forward and
hitting the steering wheel or the instrument panel when the vehicle
crashes.
Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the Seat
Belt Pretensioner (BPT) even with a specified tester as measuring
circuit resistance with a tester may result in accidental ignition of
the pretensioner that leads to serious personal injury. |
