Dual Locking Mode Retractor
The dual locking mode retractor on the shoulder belt portion of the combination lap/shoulder safety belt for front seat passenger and rear seat outboard
passengers operates in two ways:
-
In the vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode, the shoulder belt retractor will allow the occupant freedom of movement, locking tight only on
hard braking, hard cornering or impacts of approximately 8 km/h (5 mph) or more. The front and rear outboard seat belt retractors can also be
made to lock by pulling/jerking on the belt.
-
In the automatic locking mode, the shoulder belt retractor will be automatically locked and remain locked when the combination lap/shoulder
safety belt is buckled and does not allow the occupant freedom of movement. This mode provides tight lap/shoulder belt fit on occupant and child
safety seat or infant carrier installation restraint.
