Removal and Installation
WARNING: All safety belt assemblies including retractors, buckles, front seat belt buckle support assemblies (slide bar), shoulder belt height
adjusters (if so equipped) child safety seat tether attachments and attaching hardware should be inspected after any collision. All belt
assemblies should be replaced unless a qualified technician finds the assemblies show no damage and operate correctly. Belt assemblies not in
use during a collision should also be inspected and replaced if either damage or incorrect operation is noted.
NOTE: The retractor may be equipped with an additional web stop button (small, thin, round button, not to be confused with the larger web stop button)
located on the safety belt webbing. This button is only used for vehicle assembly and serves no other functional purpose. The button can possibly be
retracted under the trim bezel making it difficult to pull the safety belt webbing out of the retractor. To service, remove this web stop button. Do not
replace the safety belt retractor to eliminate this condition. Any resulting appearance concerns with the webbing can be worked out by hand.
All vehicles
1. Remove the third row 60 percent seat backrest.
2. Remove the seat belt anchor bolt.
3. Depress the tab and remove the head restraint.
