Kia Stinger CK: Seat Belt System / Emergency Fastening Device (EFD)
Description and operation
The Emergency Fastening Device (EFD) operates at the same time with the Seat
Belt Pretensioner when the deployment condition is satisfied in the event of a collision.
It is an auxiliary equipment that instantly pulls the seat belts toward the anchor
in the event of frontal collision to protect the driver and front passenger from
breaking away.
It is located near the anchor on the driver and passenger seat and is supported
by two cables.
|
Never measure the resistance of the anchor pretensioner directly, the
current of the measuring device may cause unexpected airbag deploy.
