Seat belt load limiter (Hyundai Getz 1)

The load limiter is designed to reduce the force of impact of the driver and front passenger on the fastened seat belts during a collision. If the force of the collision reaches a certain value, the torsion of the pre-tensioned seat belts deforms and slightly releases the seat belt, reducing the force of the impact.

Removal

1. Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery.

Warning: Before servicing the airbag system, make sure that at least 30 seconds have passed after the ignition has been turned off and the negative battery cable has been disconnected.

2. Remove the screws securing the threshold trim.

7. Disconnect the connector from the seat belt pretensioner.

8. Remove the front seat belt.
