Seat Belt: Description and Operation

ADJUSTABLE SHOULDER BELT ANCHOR
Each front seat belt system has an adjustable shoulder belt anchor which allows the occupant to select the most appropriate anchor height from among the five positions in a 129 mm (5.08 in) range.




SEAT ANCHORED INNER BELT
The front inner belt (buckle stalk) is attached to the front seat rather than to the floor. This keeps the position of the occupant relative to the front inner belt always constant even when the front seat is moved for adjustment.
When an impact is applied to the occupant in a collision, the inner belt is pulled together with the upper hook in the direction of the arrow to engage the upper hook with the lower hook. As a result, the impact load is transmitted to the vehicle body and dispersed.




AUTOMATIC RETRACTOR
When the front passenger's seat belt and the rear seat belts for the right and left seating positions are drawn out completely, their retractors are placed in the automatic locking mode which is used when installing a child restraint system. In this mode, the belt can be retracted but cannot be extended. When the belt is retracted to a certain length, this mode is canceled and normal operation is restored.
