Web Sensing Retractor

All seatbelt retractors have web sensing mode, which is sensitive to seatbelt retractor spool speeds. The web sensing retractor mode is activated when the seatbelt webbing is extracted or retracted at a predetermined speed. The centrifugal force moves a lock into place stopping the retractor spool from paying out seatbelt webbing. To unlock the seatbelt retractor from this mode, only a few millimeters of seatbelt webbing are necessary to retract back onto the seatbelt retractor spool.

If the seatbelt webbing is in the stowed position and cannot be extracted, Refer to: Locked Seatbelt Retractor Releasing .
