8A-2 SEAT BELTS
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
DRIVER SEAT BELT WARNING
The driver’s seat belt incorporates a seat belt warning
lamp in the instrument cluster to remind the driver if
the seat belt is not fastened when the ignition is turned
ON. The warning lamp blinks for eight seconds with
chime and goes out.
THREE-POINT FRONT SEAT BELT
WITH PRETENSIONER
The front seat belt contains an electronically controlled
pyrotechnic retractor, pretensioner, which reduces seat
belt slack when it activated in a head-on or angled
front collision. The front seat belt must be replaced
after an accident that causes its activation. At normal
condition the driver’s seat belt operates as emergency
locking retractor (ELR).
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
The ELR seat belt is always unlocked, allowing the
passenger freedom of movement, except in
emergencies such as rapid deceleration, rapid
acceleration, or hard cornering maneuvers.
THREE-POINT REAR OUTBOARD
SEAT BELT
The rear outboard seating position uses the emergency
locking retractor (ELR). Refer to Three-point front seat
belt with pretensioner in this section for details.
TWO-POINT LAP REAR CENTER
SEAT BELT
The two-point lap rear center seat belt is a single contin-
uous length of webbing. The webbing is routed from
the anchor through plate and into a single retractor.
OPERATIONAL AND FUNCTIONAL
CHECKS
Caution:
Keep sharp objects and potentially damaged ob
jects away from seat belts.
Avoid bending or damaging any portion of
buckle or the latch plate
Do not breach or dye the belt webbing. Use only
mild soap and water in order to clean the belts.
When installing the seat belt anchor bolts and
screws, start the bolts and screws by hand in or-
der to prevent cross-threading.
Do not attempt any repairs on the retractor mech-
anisms or covers. Replace any defective assem-
blies with new assemblies.
Replace any belts that are cut or damaged in any
way.
1. Inspect all seat anchor bolts and screws in order to
verify that they are secure.
2. Inspect the seat belt buckle. The buckle must lock
and unlock easily.
3. After inserting the latch into the buckle, tug sharply
on the belt. The buckle must remain locked.
4. Fully extend the shoulder belt portion to make sure
that there is no twisting or tears in the belt.
5. Let the shoulder belt retract fully. The belt should
retract easily.
CHILD SEAT TETHER ANCHOR
There are three child seat tether anchors to hold the
child seat firmly. One is located rear center of ceiling
and two are located on the rear corner of floor.
