Seat Belt Retractor - Description

DESCRIPTION

Both front seating position seat belts are equipped with a Constant Force Retractor (CFR), while the seat belt retractors used in all seating positions include an inertia-type, Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mechanism as standard equipment. However, the ELR for all seating positions except the driver side front are mechanically switchable from an ELR to an Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR).

The CFR, ELR and ALR features are all integral to the seat belt retractor unit mechanism that is concealed beneath a molded plastic cover located on one side of the retractor spool. The CFR, ELR and ALR features cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the entire seat belt and retractor must be replaced as a unit.
