Removal and Installation
WARNING: All safety belt assemblies (including retractors, belt tension sensors [BTS] if equipped, buckles, shoulder belt height adjusters [if
equipped], child safety seat tether attachments and attaching hardware) should be inspected after any collision. All new belt assemblies should
be installed unless a qualified technician finds the assemblies show no damage and operate correctly. Belt assemblies not in use during a
collision should also be inspected and new assemblies installed if either damage or incorrect operation is noted.
The automatic locking retractor (ALR) feature of the safety belt retractor must be checked by a qualified technician to verify that the ALR
feature for a child safety seat is functioning correctly, in addition to other checks for correct safety belt system function. A new belt and
retractor assembly must be installed if the safety belt assembly's ALR feature or any other safety belt function is not operating correctly when
inspected according to the functional inspection procedures. Failure to install a new belt and retractor assembly could increase the risk of
injury in collisions.
1. Remove the second row, 40 percent seat.
2. Remove the bolt and safety belt anchor.
