NEW SEAT BELT RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SERVICE INFORMATION)

ALL MODELS
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 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.
