Kia Picanto: 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 if you are using the specified tester. If the circuit
resistance is measured with a tester, the pretensioner will be ignited
accidentally. This will result in serious personal injury. |
