FRONT SEAT BELTS

Front seat belt units incorporating a web locker actuation are fitted in place of the pawl and ratchet system. Motion and attitude sensors trigger the retractor and cause engagement of two wedged sets of teeth to clamp the belt webbing.

Once the wedges have locked onto the webbing, the webbing around the spool retains its original tightness therefore no more webbing is released. This reduces travel or spool out during impact. Web lockers are fitted to the front compartment only.

The web locker is larger and heavier than the conventional unit and has a higher centre of gravity above the mounting hole.

The unit is secured to the BC post with a 7/16 UNF bolt at the base and a screw fitted into a nylon locking socket at the top.

Withdraw sufficient length of webbing up through the inside of the BC post between the trim panel and body and pass through the aperture in the trim panel. Secure the belt upper anchorage point. Secure the unit at the lower sill anchorage point.
