Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Active Restraints (Canadian Models)

A continuous loop, single retractor restraint system is available on vehicles made for Canada.

The seat and shoulder safety belts are factory installed in their proper locations. If seat or shoulder safety belts are removed for any reason, they should be installed using proper service procedures. Tighten the anchor bolts to 30-43 Nm (22-32 lb-ft).

The system incorporates a buzzer or chime and lamp warnings. The safety belt warning lamp illuminates for approximately eight seconds after the ignition switch is turned on, regardless of safety belt usage. The safety belt warning buzzer or chime is grounded by a switch in the LH inboard buckle. The warning buzzer or chime will sound for approximately eight seconds unless the driver's safety belt is connected.
