When replacing seatbelt retractor assemblies , use only genuine SUBARU parts .
. If a seatbelt that has a seatbelt pretensioner does not retract or cannot be pulled out due to a malfunction or activation of the pretensioner , contact your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible .

S _ 103084-W
If the sensor detects a certain predetermined amount of force during frontal or side collisions or rollover accidents , any seatbelt that has a seatbelt pretensioner is quickly drawn back in by the retractor to take up the slack so that the belt more effectively restrains the seat occupant .
The window-side rear passenger ’ s seatbelt pretensioner includes a tension reducing device that limits the peak forces exerted by the seatbelt on the occupant in the event of a collision .
The front passenger ’ s seatbelt pretensioner includes a tension reducing device which limits the peak forces exerted by the seatbelt on the occupant in the event of a collision .
. Adaptive force limiter
The front passenger ’ s side adaptive force limiter will select a reducing load to the suit body size of the occupant as detected by the occupant detection sensor .
When a seatbelt pretensioner is activated , an operating noise will be heard and a small amount of smoke will be released . These occurrences are normal and not harmful . This smoke does not indicate a fire in the vehicle .
Once the seatbelt pretensioner has been activated , the seatbelt retractor remains locked . Consequently , the seatbelt cannot be pulled out and retracted and therefore must be replaced .
