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.

Removal
NOTE: Removal steps in this procedure may
contain installation details.
1. WARNINGS:
The supplemental restraint system
(SRS) is active for a certain length of
time after the power supply has been
disconnected. Wait for a minimum of 3
minutes before disconnecting or
removing any SRS components.
Handling the seat belt (pre-tensioner
seat belt) improperly can accidentally
deploy the pre-tensioner seat belt, which
may seriously injure you. Read the
service warnings and cautions before
handling the seat belt (pre-tensioner
seat belt).
Make sure that the vehicle electrical
system is fully depowered and no other
power source is connected.
CAUTION: The ELR (emergency locking
retractor) has a spring that will unwind
if the retractor cover is removed. The
spring cannot be rewound by hand. If
this occurs, the ELR will not work
properly. Therefore, do not disassemble
the retractor.
