Seat Belt Systems: Adjustments

Seat Belt




A: ADJUSTABLE SHOULDER ANCHOR
The front seat belt has a mechanism that allows the occupant to select the most appropriate shoulder anchor height from among the four positions [changeable within 90 mm (3.54 in) range]. The adjustment is made by moving the anchor up or down while keeping the anchor knob raised to bring the anchor to the desired position.




B: BELT IN SEAT
The front inner belt is now integral with the front seat. This keeps the relative positions of the occupant and the front inner belt always constant, irrespective of the adjustments of the front seat position.

When an impact is applied to the occupant in a collision, the inner belt is pulled together with the upper hook in the direction of the arrow to engage the upper hook with the lower hook. As a result, the impact load is transmitted to the vehicle body and dispersed.




C: SEAT BELT GUIDE
A seat belt guide can be used to easily pull the webbing out by forward rotate arm when fastening the seat belt.




D: AUTOMATIC ELR
When the webbing of the front seat belt (passenger side) and rear seat belt are once drawn out completely, its retractor is changed to the automatic locking condition to securely install the child restraint system. In this condition, the webbing can be retracted but cannot be extended. When the belt is retracted to some extent, this condition is released.
