Lap/Shoulder Safety Belt, Front

FEATURES
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.

OPERATION
- 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.
