That's exactly what they are; the gasses they produce serve to
increase the tension on the belt. In a car that was in an accident
that might experience belt stretch, you would probably see blown squibs.

Please explain "Squibs" and how they operate in this situation -
the only squibs I'm familiar with are the explosive charges used in
TV/Movie making to simulate gun shot hits on various surfaces...
;-)
the free dictionary says
"a. A small firecracker.
b. A broken firecracker that burns but does not explode."
Thanks -
