Front Seat Belt System

The front seat belts on sedans are equipped with an adjustable shoulder belt guide loop. The shoulder belt can be adjusted to one of the four positions by a release switch located at the center pillar. The release switch permits adjustment of the shoulder belt to the height of the occupant.

The front passenger seat and the rear seat retractors are dual-mode type retractors with emergency locking and automatic features.

The automatic locking feature is for use with a child seat.

The front seat belt system includes the following components:
^ The driver and the passenger's retractor side belt. The retractor side belt is located and attached on the center pillar post in all coupes and sedans
^ The front seat center driver and passenger's buckle belts are located between the two front seats. These buckle belts are attached to the seat.
^ The driver's seat belt system, includes a seat belt switch in the driver seat buckle which controls a reminder lamp and a tone alarm. When the driver seat belt is buckled, the driver's door is closed, and the ignition switch is turned ON, the following events will occur:
- The tone alarm will not operate.
- The reminder lamp will not operate.
^ When the driver's seat belt is not buckled, the driver's door is closed, and the ignition switch is turned ON, the following events will occur:
- The tone alarm will operate for 4 to 8 seconds and then go OFF.
- The reminder lamp will operate for 20 seconds, until the driver seat belt is buckled.
- Then the reminder lamp will flash for an additional 55 seconds before going OFF.

To diagnose a failure of the reminder lamp or the tone alarm, refer to Audible Warnings System Check in Instrument Panel, Gauges and Console.
