General Description

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

A continuous loop, single retractor restraint system is used in both front and rear seating positions on all models.

A continuous loop, single retractor, active restraint system is used for the outboard front and outboard rear lap/shoulder safety belts.

The lap/shoulder safety belt assembly consists of the belt webbing, tongue and retractor.

The retractor is designed to let the webbing move in or out freely, except for hard braking, cornering or impacts of approximately 8 km/h (5 mph) or higher, when the webbing is automatically locked by a mechanically actuated inertia sensor.

The seat and shoulder safety belts are factory installed. If seat belts or shoulder safety belts are removed for any reason, they must be installed.

WARNING: SAFETY BELT ASSEMBLIES MUST BE INSTALLED IN MATCHED SETS AS RECEIVED AND MUST NOT BE INTERCHANGED BETWEEN VEHICLE MODELS. IF A COMPONENT PORTION OF A SAFETY BELT OR SHOULDER SAFETY BELT ASSEMBLY IS NON-FUNCTIONAL OR DAMAGED, THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY (BUCKLE, TONGUE AND SHOULDER HARNESS PORTIONS) MUST BE REPLACED. THE REPLACEMENT ASSEMBLY MUST BE INSTALLED AS A MATCHED SET AND THE MANUFACTURER'S IDENTIFICATION ON THE LABEL ON THE RETRACTOR WEBBING MUST MATCH THE MANUFACTURER'S IDENTIFICATION ON THE BUCKLE'S BASE. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE SAFETY BELT OR SHOULDER SAFETY BELT COMPONENTS TO BE REPLACED AS INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS.
