pretensioner (noun) : a device that locks automobile seat belts in the event of a crash or hard braking

The standard safety equipment is worthy of a luxury car: tilt and telescopic steering wheel, electronic-stability control with traction control, four-wheel-disc brakes with ABS, brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution, front active headrests and front belt pretensioners. —Mark Maynard, The San Diego Union-Tribune, May 9, 2009
