Sprin$BuckleCONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF THE OUTER
SWITCHThe outer switch is installed at the retractor for the shoulder
belt.The component is an assembly supply item, and so is not to be
disassembled. Its construction and operation are, however, as
described below.
Gear A rotates in unison with the shaft of the retractor; gear C’sspeed is reduced by way of gear
B, thus resulting in rotation.
A cam is installed to gear C. In the illustration, the belt is at the
fully rewound position; contacts A and
B are separated, and the
switch is switched OFF.
When the belt is pulled out about 750 mm (29.5 in.), the cam
presses contact A, with the result that contacts A and
Bcontact, and the switch is switched ON.
The switch is ON until the completely pulled-out position is
reached.At the time of rewind, the cam is caused to rotate in the
direction opposite to the direction during pull-out, and the
switch is switched from ON to OFF when the belt reaches the
approximately 750 mm (29.5 in.) pulled-out position.
If the sequence switch is turned OFF, the warning light comes
on.CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF THE
ENERGY-ABSORBING BELT AND THE BUCKLE
The driver’s seat belt has on -it a sleeve inside which the seat
belt webbing is folded back over itself in a loop so as to absorb
the energy of a shock by pulling loose and releasing slack.
There is a spring installed in the portion connecting the buckle
to the arm, allowing the buckle to tilt forward and inward so
that the belts can be tight enough around the body.

Located at the quarter panel on the driver’s seat side.The system is controlled based upon various input signals, thereby
regulating motor operation,
warnrng light illumination or continuousflashing, and buzzer sounding.
Located at the front of the guide railThis switch is for turning the shoulder belt drive motor off.
It transmits an “OFF” signal to the control unit when the shoulder
belt is completely unfastened. Once the “OFF” signal is received,
the control unit shuts off the motor.
Located at the rear of the guide railThis switch is for turning the shoulder belt drive motor off.
It transmits an “OFF” signal to the control unit when the shoulder
belt is completely fastened. Once the “OFF” signal is received,
the control unit shuts off the motor.
Located at the combination meter.
This light warns the driver
and/or passenger to fasten his/her seat
belt; it illuminates of flashes by the control unit, and the length of the
illumination or flashing time changes, dependent on which seat belt
is not fastened. (Refer to WARNING SYSTEM)
Located at the driver’s seat belt buckle.This switch transmits an “OFF” signal to the
control unit when the
lap belt is fastened and an “ON” signal when it is not fastened.
Incorporated within the shoulder belt retractor.
This switch detects the amount of shoulder belt wind-in and sends
an “OFF” signal to the control unit if the amount of wind-in is the
specified amount or more. or an “ON” signal if the amount of
wind-in is less than the specified amount.

OPERATlON
Belt Fastening Motion
(1) If the belt is not in the fastening position (the
L.H. or R.H. door latch switch at Door Closed
position; the L.H. or R.H. “fasten” switch at
“ON” position) when the door is closed with the
ignition switch in the “ON” position, the belt
automatically moves to the fastening position.
For the period between the initiation and com-
pletion of the belt’s motion in the fastening
direction, the seat belt warning light either stays
lit or blinks.
Belt Releasing Motion
(1) When the belt is not in the release position, the
L.H. or R.H. release switch is in the “ON”
position, and the left or right door is opened, the
belt will automatically move to the release
position if the ignition switch is at either the
“ON”,“LOCK” or “ACC” position.
For the belt at the driver’s seat side moveover,
the belt will automatically move to the release
position if the
key is taken out while the belt is
fastened.
The buzzer sounds for approximately 0.7 secondsince the start of thebelt’s motion.When the belt is completely fastened, the
“fasten” switch is switched OFF and the motor
stops.(2) With a lapse of approximately 60 seconds after
the belt has stopped its fastening motion due to
foreign object wedged in the mechanism, the
protective timer of the control unit is activated
causing the motor output to the shut off.
When the belt completes its releasing motion,
the L.H. or R.H. release switch is turned OFF,
and the motor stops.
(2)If the belt is still in the process of releasing with
a lapse of approximately 60 seconds after the
start of motion, the protective timer in control
unit is activated causing the motor output to be
shut off.
At the same time, the buzzer sounds for
approximately 0.7 second.

continuously for approximately 6 seconds.
If, within the time, the ignition switch is moved from the “ON”
position to the “LOCK” or “ACC” position, the warning light
illumination will stop.

The warning light flashes if the door is closed, the ignition
switch is at “ON” position and the driver’s or front passenger’sseat “fasten” switch is switched ON (unfastened status).

the slide anchor at the “fasten” position (the “fasten” switch is
OFF), the shoulder belt is not fastened (the outer switch is
switched OFF), the buzzer will sound continuously for approx-
imately 6 seconds and, at the same time, the warning light will
‘flash for approximately 68 seconds.
If, however the shoulder belt is fastened (the outer switch is
switched ON) during that period, the warning light and buzzer
will be switched OFF.Warning Alarm when the Front Seat Passenger’s Shoulder
.Belt .is not Fastened
When, with the front seat passenger’s shoulder belt unfas-tened (the outer switch is switched OFF), the ignition switch
i--turned from the “LOCK” or “ACC” position to the “ON
position, the warning light will illuminate steadily for
approx-imately 68 seconds. If, however, the shoulder belt is fastened
(the outer switch is switched ON) during that period, thewarning light will be switched OFF.

25-6EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS- Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System
OPERATION
The engine control unit functions to calculate the
engine load, based upon the intake air volume
signals (from the air-flow sensor) and the rpm
signals (from the crank-angle sensor), and the
EGRcontrol solenoid valve is activated according to the
engine load. The
EGR amount is then regulated
according to the engine load calculated in this way.maintaining driveability during cold.
When, as a result of clogging of the
EGR cant’valve or as a result of an operational
malfunctio,.,the
EGR flow volume decreases, the EGR gas
temperature downstream. from the
EGR control
valve decreases. The engine control unit functions
to detect the
operation conditions of the EGRLoad
a Intake air volume/Engine rpmsystem by this characteristic.
If, however, the engine coolant temperature is low,
the actuation duty is attenuated, the
EGR control
valve activation negative pressure (vacuum) is
leaked from the throttle body A port, thus reducing
or interrupting the
EGR flow volume and therebyThe temperature of the
EGR gas is detected by the
EGR gas temperature sensor which is equipped at
the
EGR control valve; when the temperature
decreases to a low level, the engine warning light
(malfunction indicator light) illuminates in order to
advise the driver that a malfunction has occurred in
the
EGR system.
