Active Restraints (Canadian Models)
Shoulder Harness Retractor
SHOULDER HARNESS
The shoulder harness webbing is fixed in a retractor which is located in the quarter panel. This retractor is designed to let the webbing freely move in
or out at all times, except during vehicle deceleration. Then, it is automatically locked by a mechanically actuated inertia sensor.
The shoulder harness webbing is attached to a retractor. The retractor is located in the quarter panel.
The webbing then passes through a guide above and behind the occupant's shoulder which directs the webbing at the proper downward angle over the
occupant's shoulder and chest and attaches to the lap belt buckle.
The shoulder harness retractor is designed to let the webbing freely move in or out at all times, except during vehicle deceleration, when it is
automatically locked by a mechanically actuated inertia sensor.
On these vehicles the buckle is routed along the side of the seat and is attached to the slide bar. The slide bar is anchored to the seat track which is
anchored to the floorpan.
