13.8.8 Seat Belts, Description
Three types of seat belt are used: tear loop inertia seat belts used on front seats in association with driver and passenger
airbags, standard inertia types fitted to the outer, rear seats and static belts fitted to the
center, rear seat.
Front passenger seat belts are fitted
with tear loop buckles while drivers seat belts have the tear loop fitted to the out- board anchorage. The front seat belts are provided with height adjuster units which are attached one to each of the
'B' posts.
13.8.9
Where emergency locking retractorlautomatic locking retractor seat belts are provided, the belts have two operating
modes:
1.
2.
The inertia reel mode operates to allowthe occupant some freedom of torso movement. The static reel mode prevents
belt payout and thereby does not allow the occupant freedom of torso movement. When the seat belt is attached to
a child seat which has its own independent harness, the static mode must be used.
The seat belt defaults to the inertia reel (adult passenger) mode when
in the stowed (fully retracted) position.
To activate the static reel (child seat) mode, pay out the belt to its
full extension. The ratchet mechanism is now en- gaged. When retracting the belt back into the reel, the ratchet operation may be felt. It can be noticed that the belt is
unable to reverse direction.
To revert to the inertia reel mode, pay the belt back into the reel to the stowed position.
Emergency Locking Retractor / Automatic locking Retractor Seat Belts
Inertia reel mode, emergency locking retractor, for adult passengers
Static reel mode, automatic locking retractor, for children
(in child seats).

13.8.10 Tear loop Seat Belts, Description
The tear loop seat belt (Fig.1) is used to control the rate of forward travel of the occupant towards the deployed airbag
(the airbag is covered in Section 15, Electrical). The tear loop assembly is designed to release additional webbing when
the stitching, which retains the webbing loops, breaks under
a predetermined load. The wires (1 Fig. 1) within the as- sembly have the following functions:
0 To protect the stitching from 'normal' loads such as heavy braking or cornering.
o To control the rate of deployment.
0 To support the extended head following deployment.
When the passenger unit has been activated, the buckle will extend from the shroud and reveal
a warning label (2 Fig. 1); the extent of deployment will depend upon the severity of the load.
-: IF THE LABEL IS VISIBLE AT ALL (3 FIG. 3). THE COMPLETE ASSEMBLY MUST BE RENEWED, AS MUST
ANY SEAT BELT WHICH HAS BEEN WORN IN AN ACCIDENT.
