Seat Belt Systems: Description and Operation

The active restraint system consists of:
- the front safety belt retractors and tongues, which are secured to the body under the B-pillar trim.
- the rear LH and RH safety belt retractors, which are secured to the body behind the roof trim panels.
- the front inboard buckle end, which is secured to the front seat assembly by the front safety belt buckle support.
- the rear LH, RH and center buckle ends, which are secured behind the quarter trim panel.


WARNING:
- All safety belt assemblies including retractors, buckles, front seat belt buckle support assemblies (slide bar), if equipped, shoulder belt height adjusters, if equipped, child safety seat tether bracket assemblies, if equipped, and attaching hardware should be inspected after any collision. New safety belt assemblies should be installed unless a qualified technician finds the assemblies show no damage and operate correctly. Safety belt assemblies not in use during a collision should also be inspected and new assemblies installed if either damage or incorrect operation is noted.
- Each seating position in the vehicle has a specific safety belt assembly which consists of one buckle and one tongue. The safety belt assembly is designed to be used as a pair and is not to be used across seating positions.
