Purpose and Function of the Mini Seatbelt Pretensioner

The original design of the pretensioner ensures:

• correct fitment to the mounting points on the right side of the vehicle, without the need for installation modifications,
• consistent operating geometry with the factory seatbelt, which translates to predictable performance in emergency situations,
• stable mounting to the body structure, minimizing play and unwanted vibrations.

The pretensioner has been specifically designed for the Mini R50/R52/R53 platform, thus maintaining factory mounting points and correct orientation on the right side. The construction is compatible with the standard seatbelt, facilitating installation and servicing.

Key functional features include:

• dedicated vehicle placement: right side, which eliminates the risk of errors when selecting parts,
• retention of original length and operating range of the mechanism, essential for proper belt tensioning,
• integration with the factory Mini safety system, without altering the body structure.
