Description and Operation
Front Seat Belts

Each front seat belt has three anchorage points, and a height adjuster installed in each 'B' post provides four shoulder strap
positions. The belts are left and right ha nded and have plastic moulding on the r unning loop and tongue. A pyrotechnic pre-
tensioning device installed at the lower mounting point in each 'B' post, removes excess slack from the seat belt in the event
of a heavy frontal impact.
Rear Seat Belts

A standard inertia reel type belt is installed at each rear seat position. Each of these belts has three anchorage points. The
lower end of each outer belt is bolted to the front lower section of the inner wheelarch, whilst the lower end of the centre
belt is bolted to the seat pan. All thr ee inertia reel assemblies are bolted to the upper section of the squab panel. Two
buckle assemblies serving the three belts, are each bolted to the seat pan. A cable mounted single buckle provides for
fastening of the RH outer belt and a twin buckle assembly mounted on two cables serves the centre and LH outer belts.
Pyrotechnic Seatbelt Pre-tensioning

A pyrotechnic front seat belt pre-tensioning device with independent el ectronic sensing and retractor unit is installed at the
base of each 'B' post. In the event of se vere frontal impact, this provides additional front occupant protection by removing
any excess slack from the seat be lt. Seat belt pre-tensioning activates when a frontal impact of sufficient force occurs within
30 degrees of vehicle center line. Under such an impact, el ectronic sensors in the retractor unit fire, igniting the pre-
tensioner gas generator. The ga s generator initiates a chemical reaction, producing gases under pressure. Gas pressure
drives the piston/cable up a tube, rotating the retractor sp indle and removing excess slack from the seat belt. When the
pre-tensioner unit has been activated, the seat belt will lock and cannot be retracted or pulled from the reel.If a seat belt
pre-tensioner activates, a small quantity (less than 1 liter) of gas is produced containing nitrogen, oxygen and water vapor.
