Seat Belts

A Continuous Loop Single Retractor Restraint System is used on all models. If seat belts or shoulder belts are removed for any reason, the anchor bolts should be tightened to 39-55 Nm (28-35 ft lbs).

Belt assemblies must be installed in matched sets as received and must not be interchanged between vehicle models.

If a component portion other than the removable D-ring cover (buckle portion, retractor portion, etc.) of a seat belt or shoulder belt assembly is nonfunctional or damaged, the entire assembly (buckle, tongue and shoulder harness portions) must be replaced.

The replacement assembly must be installed as a matched set and the manufacturer's identification on the label of the retractor webbing must match the manufacturer's identification on the buckle base.

NOTE: Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after they have been subjected to loading by occupants in a collision.
