Seat Belt: Description and Operation
Front Seat Belts
The vehicle seat belts consist of four continuous loop, single retractor restraint systems. The factory installed belts, if removed for any reason, must be
installed as outlined. Tighten anchor bolts to specification.
NOTE: Belt assemblies must be installed in matched sets and must not be interchanged between vehicle models.
If a component portion other than the adjustable D-ring cover (buckle portion, retractor portion, etc.) of a seat belt or shoulder belt assembly is
nonfunctional or damaged, the entire assembly (buckle, tongue, and shoulder harness portions) must be replaced. The replacement assembly must be
installed as a matched set and the manufacturer's identification on the label of the retractor webbing must match the manufacturer's identification on the
buckle base.
NOTE: Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after they have been subjected to loading by occupants in a collision.
The system incorporates buzzer and graphic display warnings. The seat belt warning lamp illuminates for approximately six seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to ACC (position I) or RUN (position II), regardless of seat belt usage. The seat belt warning buzzer is grounded by a switch in the LH
inboard buckle. The seat belt warning buzzer will sound for approximately six seconds unless the driver's belt is connected.
