The front passive restraint system uses two types of sensing devices to lock the belt. An inertia sensor (as in the normal unibelt system), and a webbing extraction rate sensor. Therefore, unlike the unibelt system, a hard pull on the shoulder belt or lap belt will lock the retractors. If the retractors are extended slowly, the belt will not lock. Refer to the service manual for additional general information regarding seat belts.
