Imagine a time, perhaps in the near future,............when there will exist a nebulous thing I'll randomly call "Google"

You could almost surmise typing in the part number off of each part....all 8 numbers for each part, starts with 234890xx.....will allow this magical "Google" to guide you to the answer you seek.

Seat belt Pretensioner

By the way, they're considered an explosive so special shipping is required if you're trying to sell them.

If you hit something head-on or nearly so and above a programmed speed (and there are a couple other parameters), the SRS module will command a charge inside of the pre-tensioner to fire. This generates gas. This gas pushes a piston that pulls a cable attached to the seat belt. When the seat belt is pulled, it's being tightened against the person in the seat and keeps them strapped against the seat.

Go to ~1:57 to see one in action. Shippers don't like things that go "bang".

To add to your search arsonal is the "reverse image search" extension if anyone doesn't already have it in their Chrome browser. It's also a great tool to help see if you're getting scammed (scammers who use other's images to place a bogus FS ad)
