Seat Belt Systems: Description and Operation

The vehicle is provided with four continuous loop, single retractor restraint systems plus a single lap belt is provided for the use of the person sitting in the center rear seat. The seat belt assemblies are factory-installed in their proper location. If they are removed for any reason, it is critical that they be reinstalled using the proper procedures. It is important that all anchor bolts be tightened to the correct torque specifications. If any of the seat belt assemblies have been subjected to loading by the occupants in an accident then the complete assemblies (retractor and buckle) must be replaced.

NOTE: When renewing a faulty seat belt damaged by other than occupant loading in an accident, only the faulty buckle retractor assembly need be replaced. It is not necessary to renew both the buckle and retractor.

WARNING: It is not possible to Interchange parts between different models.

The system incorporates a buzzer and lamp warning. The seat belt lamp lights up for about eight seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON regardless of seat belt usage. The seat belt warning buzzer will sound for approximately eight seconds unless the driver's belt is used.
