Occupant Protection
Seat Belts
The use of front and rear seat belts is
mandatory in most countries. Using seat
belts saves lives. They should be worn by
all occupants whenever the vehicle is in
use, for maximum protection.
Lap/shoulder inertia reel seat belts are
provided for both front occupants and
three rear seat positions.
The inertia operating mechanism of the
seat belts allows the wearers to move
their upper bodies to reach various
controls. The seat belts lock automatically
with accelerated body movement or in
the event of emergency braking.
The seat belt assemblies incorporate
additional safety devices. All have belt
pretensioners and the front belts also
have force limiters. These devices provide
increased protection in the event of a
severe frontal impact.
The pretensioners operate with the air
bags as part of the Advanced Restraints
Technology System (see page 3 - 14). All passenger seat belt mechanisms
incorporate an automatic locking device
to allow child seats to be secured safely.
Forchild safety seepage3-23.
Comfort belts are fitted to both individual
electrically operated rear seats. They are
also fitted to the outer seats only on the
electrically operated rear bench seat.
These belts incorporate a twin tension
facility. When the belt is buckled around
the occupant, a reduced tension is
applied to provide a more comfortable
fitting. When the belt is unfastened,
a higher tension is applied to allow it to
retract correctly.
Beltminder
The Beltminder feature is a supplemental
warning to the seat belt warning function
(see page 4 - 6). This feature provides
additional reminders to the driver that
the driver’s and/or front passenger’s seat
belt is unbuckled by intermittently
sounding a chime and illuminating the
seat belt warning lamp in the instrument
cluster.
Note:
Not all countries have the warning
chime. Front belt height adjustment
To adjust the front seat belt heights, press
the locking button and slide the
anchorage so that the seat belt webbing
passes over the shoulder without pulling
against the neck. Release the button and
check that the anchorage point is locked.
Always check the anchorage point after
the seat has been adjusted to ensure that
the belt is correctly positioned.
