Toyota Seat Belts Repair

Posted by Artem Martynyuk on

After any accident, it is always a good idea to check your Toyotas Supplemental Restraint System to see if anything needs to be repaired, replaced, or reset. The SRS helps protect the driver as well as any passengers inside the vehicle so you want to make sure it is working fully. This system consists of the seatbelts, airbags, SRS indicator light and impact sensors. The seatbelts are the first line of defense when the Toyota is in an accident, airbags being the second line of defense. Since seat belts are an important part of the system that help keep you safe in the event of an accident, it may be good to know how seat belts actually work and if you may be in need of Toyota Seat Belts Repair. Here is a quick overview.

A retractor is connected to the seat belt webbing which also has a spool that is attached to one end. Inside the retractor is a spring that applies torque to the spool, causing it to rotate and tighten the webbing. The vehicles movement can trigger the retractor which stops the rotation of the spool using a locking mechanism. It locks when the vehicle decelerates rapidly like when the driver hits the brakes quickly or when the vehicle has hit something. It can also lock when a seat belt is jerked.

pretensioner works together with the conventional seat belt system to tighten the seat belt, in some newer seat belt models.  A pretensioner tightens any slack that may exist instead of simply restricting the seat belt to retract further. When an accident occurs, gas inside the pretensioner sparks causing the pressure to build up. This in turn rotates the retractor, pulling in the loose webbing. This puts the occupant securely into their seat helping minimize further damage. However, since the seat belt is tightened, taking the energy from the individuals movement during the accident, the seat belt webbing can stretch to the point where it would need to get replaced.

 All the mechanisms of your Supplemental Restraint System should be working and in good condition.
