Seat Belt: Description and Operation

FRONT LAP/SHOULDER SAFETY BELT
- The front lap/shoulder safety belt extends from a retractor which is located on the B-pillar post for the front seat.
- This retractor is designed to let the safety belt move in or out freely at all times, except during hard braking, cornering or impacts of 8 km/h (5 mph) or more.
- The front shoulder safety belt is guided through the front safety belt guide which is mounted on the B-pillar and inside center pillar trim panel.
- The safety belt then passes through a front safety belt guide and bezel above and behind the occupant's shoulder which directs the safety belt at the proper downward angle over the occupant's shoulder and chest to the front safety belt buckle end.
- The safety belt has a tongue that latches to front safety belt buckle end. The safety belt then continues through tongue outboard to the front seat and acts as a lap safety belt.

CENTER LAP SAFETY BELT
- Lap safety belts are provided for rear center seats.
- The rear lap safety belts are secured to the floorpan.

REAR LAP/SHOULDER SAFETY BELT
- The rear lap/shoulder safety belt extends from a retractor located on vehicle quarter panel.
- The retractor is designed to allow the safety belt to move in or out freely at all times except during hard braking, cornering or impacts of 8 km/h (5 mph) or more.
- The safety belt is routed through a rear safety belt opening bezel in the quarter trim rear upper panel.
- The safety belt is then directed downward over the occupant's shoulder and chest to the rear safety belt and buckle.
- The safety belt has a tongue that latches to the rear safety belt and buckle. The safety belt then continues through the tongue to the floor.

UNFASTENING SAFETY BELTS WITH RETRACTORS
- Push the release button on the end of the buckle. This allows the tongue to unlatch from the buckle.
- While the belt retracts, guide the tongue to its original position to prevent it from striking you or the vehicle.
