Occupant Restraint System

Continuous Loop System
The continuous loop system can be identified by the movable tongue on the front outboard lap/shoulder belt and only one retractor. (This is a combination lap/shoulder belt retractor.)

The occupant restraint system for front outboard passengers is a continuous loop system. The outboard combination lap and shoulder belt use a common sliding tongue. To secure the belts, the tongue is inserted into the inboard buckle.

The webbing for the lap belt is attached to the seat pedestal.

The shoulder harness retractor is designed to let the webbing freely move in or out at all times, except during vehicle maximum deceleration, when it is automatically locked by a mechanically actuated inertia sensor.
