SEAT BELTSRZ3SBAS
On Federal and California vehicles automatic seat belts (Manualseat belts on vehicles for Canada) are installed on the front
seats and the
3-point seat belts with ELR on the rear seat, both
contributing to the enhanced safety and ease of use.
AUTOMATIC SEAT BELTS
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Automatic Seat Belts are designed to automatically fasten
themselves around the driver and front passenger as they get
into the vehicle and close the front door, thereby,
by a
combination of the lap belt, the knee protector, the corner pad
and the glove box pad (at the lower part of the instrument
panel), protecting them from second collisions during a
front-end crash or similar accident.
The lap belt for the driver’s seat is provided with the ELR
(ELR:Emergency Locking Retractor), and that for the front passen-
ger’s seat with the
ELR-ALR” to support the Child Restraint
System incorporated into the seat. (“ALR: Automatic Locking
Retractor) The buckle tilts toward front and inside helping the
belts be tight around the body.
The
tongue plate on the driver’s seat is provided with
energy-absorbing structure.
The automatic seat belts consist of a driving-device assembly,
shoulder belt, manual lap belt, knee protector, and other
components.
The driving-device assembly is composed of the slide anchor,
the release switch, the guide rail, the “fasten” switch, the
automatic seat belt motor relay, and the driving device.
There is an emergency-release button on the slide anchor; this
button can be used to release the shoulder belt in the event of
an emergency resulting from an accident, etc.

OPERATION OF AUTOMATIC SEAT BELTS
The operation of the Automatic Seat Belts is as follows.
(1) The belts fasten itself around the occupant when the front
door is closed with the ignition switch in the “ON” position.
(2) The belts release itself from the occupant when the front
door is opened with the ignition switch in the
*“ON” or
“LOCK” or “ACC” position.
(3) The belts cease to fasten itself around the occupant if the
ignition switch is turned to “LOCK” or “ACC” or when the
front door is opened during the belt motion.
(4) The belts for the driver’s and front passenger’s seats
operate independently of each other.

ELR/ALR,
SWITCHOVER MECHANISM
The
ELR/ALR switchover mechanism is installed at the re
tor for the lap belt for the front passenger’s seat,
The component is an assembly supply item, and so is not to be
disassembled. Its construction and operation are, however, as
described below.
Gear
B is coupled with the shaft of the retractor; it rotates in ::the counterclockwise direction when the belt is pulled out.
Gear A is meshed with gear
B, and revolve in the same
direction as gear
B.The illustration
(19PO373) shows the condition when the belt is
completely rewound.
When the belt is pulled out completely, gear A revolves about
three times, and the gear A cam contacts rod A, thereby
pressing rod A. Rod A then presses the stopper, and the
stopper presses the sub
pawl.When the sub pawl is pressed, the internal lock mechanism
functions, and the belt pull-out motion becomes lock, thus
becoming ALR.
When the belt
is rewound about 600 mm (23.6 in.) from the
completely pulled-out position, gear A revolves in the clockwise
direction. with the result that the cam of gear A contacts rod
6and causes rod
B to be pressed.
Rod
B then presses the stopper, thus causing the sub pan -return. thereby unlocking the lock and making pull-out
freti.thus becoming ELR.

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.
