Front seat belts

The inertia reel of each front seat belt is attached to the related B/C post, behind the finishers. The webbing runs from the inertia reel, through a height adjuster, to an anchor point either at the base of the B/C post (five door models), or on a bar attached to the inner sill (three door models).

The buckle assembly for each belt, consisting of a buckle attached to a flexible stalk and an integrated pretensioner, is secured to the inboard side of the related front seat frame.
