Seat Belts - Description of New Design
GMC NUMBER: 92-10-07
GROUP: 10-A2 Seats and Seat Belts
DATE:
August, 1991
CORPORATE NUMBER: 161605
SUBJECT:
NEW SEAT BELT RESTRAINT SYSTEM
MODELS:
ALL 1992 VEHICLES EXCEPT TOPKICK/KODIAK
To enhance seat belt comfort and promote seat belt use, a new seat belt retractor has been designed which provides a reduced but constant force against
the occupant's body without use of the traditional window shade comfort feature.
A new seat belt system has been designed that has a reduced spring load in the shoulder belt retractor which results in a minimal but constant force
against the occupant's upper torso and eliminates the need for tension relief through the traditional window shade comfort feature.
NOTICE:
Users should continue to exercise care during belt release in order to avoid interior damage to the belt or the vehicle and to avoid twisting
the webbing.
Sales and service personnel should be aware that this system went into effect in 1991 on C/K, R/V, and G light duty vehicles. For 1992, this system will
be placed on all light and medium duty vehicles except the Topkick/Kodiak models which will retain the traditional window shade comfort feature. Sales
and service personnel should be aware of these changes in order to address any customer questions that may occur as a result of the change and to help
General Motors promote effective use of safety belts.
