| OPERATION If a collision energy is transmitted to the seat belt, the ELR mechanism will operate to lock the seat belt.
| Then, if the energy increases to a predetermined value, the torsion bar will be distorted. As the spindle rotates together with the torsion bar, the seat belt webbing is pulled out, reducing the impact against the occupants.
