501-20A-2 Safety Belt System 501-20A-2 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Safety Belt System System Overview WARNINGS: All safety belt assemblies (including retractors, 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. Failure to install a new belt and retractor assembly could increase the risk of injury in collisions. The safety belt retractor pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device. Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag equipped vehicle and when handling a safety belt buckle pretensioner or safety belt retractor pretensioner. Never probe a pretensioner electrical connector. Doing so could result in pretensioner or air bag deployment and could result in personal injury. CAUTION: Do not attempt to repair or lubricate the retractor / buckle mechanisms or modify the belts. The safety belt system utilizes three-point lap and diagonal safety belts in all outboard seat positions and two point lap or three-point safety belts in the centre positions. The front safety belt retractors incorporate a load limiting device, which allows progressive payout of additional safety belt webbing when the force exerted exceeds a predetermined limit. The front safety belt upper anchors are connected to safety belt shoulder height adjusters mounted in the B-pillar. A beltminder function is fitted to some vehicles. If the driver's seatbelt is not fastened, the belt warning lamp will illuminate at key on for 6 seconds, or until the seatbelt is fastened, whichever is the first. The beltminder warning is triggered when the vehicle speed is at 25 km/h (15 mph), or greater, and the driver and/or passenger safety belt(s) are not fastened. The warning will continue for 5 minutes or until the safety belt(s) are fastened, whichever is the first. The safety belt minder feature can be disabled. E128266 The safety belt retractor pretensioners have a lower deployment threshold than that required by the air bags. Hence it is possible that during a minor collision, which exceeds the deployment threshold, only the safety belt retractor pretensioners will deploy. The safety belt retractor pretensioners will also deploy when the side airbags are deployed but not deploy in a rear collision. Rear seat safety belt retractors and buckles are of the conventional type. Single cab
