Jeep Seat Belt Repair

After a vehicle has been in an accident, all the components of the Supplemental Restraint System needs to be examined. The SRS helps protect the driver as well as any passenger whenever they are on the road. It consists of the seatbelts, airbags, SRS indicator light and impact sensors. While airbags are the supplemental restraints, the seat belts are actually the first line of defense when the Jeep is in an accident.

Since seat belts are an important part of the system that help keep you safe during an accident, it is good to know how seat belt mechanism works and if you may be in need of Jeep Seat Belt Repair. The seat belt webbing is connected to a retractor which also has a spool attached to one end. A spring inside the retractor applies torque to the spool, causing it to rotate, tightening the webbing. The retractor, triggered by the vehicles movement, can stop the rotation of the spool using a locking mechanism.The spool locks when the vehicle decelerates rapidly like when a collision occurs.  It can also be triggered when the seat belt webbing is jerked.

In some newer seat belt systems, a pretensioner works together with the conventional seat belt system to tighten the seat belt.  A pretensioner tightens any slack that may exist rather than just stopping the belt from extending further. The gas in the pretensioner flares when an accident occurs causing the pressure to build up. This in turn rotates the retractor, putting the occupant firmly into their seat and helping minimize the damage that person may receive during the accident. However, this may cause the seat belt webbing to stretch to the point where it would need to get replaced.
