Load limiter

The load limiter adjusts the restraint force of the seat belt by slightly loosening the seat belt tightened by the pre-tensioner operation, preventing injury to the driver and passenger from seat belt pressure.

ELR (Emergency Locking Retractor)

If a sudden force is applied to the seat belt such as by a collision or emergency braking, the ELR locks the seat belt so that it cannot be pulled out any more.

ALR (Automatic Locking Retractor)

When the seat belt is pulled out and fastened, the ALR locks the seat belt at that length and it cannot be pulled out any more.
The ALR is mainly used for installing a child-restraint.
