Comfort Regulator Release
Comfort Regulator Release
The comfort regulator is designed to automatically release when the respective front door is opened. As the safety belt is unbuckled, it should be hand
-guided back to the retractor to prevent the belt tongue from striking nearby occupants or objects.
To set the comfort regulator, the shoulder safety belt initially should be positioned snugly against the chest. If the belt is not positioned snugly, the
comfort regulator may already be engaged. Disengagement is accomplished by the following procedure:
1. Pull the shoulder safety belt outward 10-13 cm (4.5 inches), then release it and allow belt to fully retract. Repeat procedure if belt is not snug to
the chest.
2. Now the belt tension may be adjusted by pulling down slightly on the shoulder belt and releasing. The least amount of slack needed to relieve
tension, but not more than 3.8 cm (1 1/2 inches), should be pulled out when using the comfort regulator system.
^
If the desired setting is not achieved or excess slack develops as you change seat position, repeat the above procedure.
^
When the door is opened, the comfort regulator will release automatically, permitting the lap-shoulder safety belt to retract. After unbuckling
the belt it is recommended that care is taken during retraction to prevent it from striking other passengers.
