Seat Belt Systems: Description and Operation

Description - Seat Belts
An inertia reel, three point seat belt is installed at each seat position. The inertia reels incorporate a liftshaft locking system with webbing sensor and car sensor activating mechanisms. The webbing sensor activates the locking system if the webbing is subjected to a sharp pull. The car sensor activates the locking system if the vehicle is subjected to sudden deceleration or a severe tilt angle.

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 at the base of the B/C post. The buckle assembly for each belt is attached to the inboard side of the seat and contains the SRS pretensioner.

Rear seat belts
The inertia reels for the outboard rear seats are attached to the body behind the loadspace side trim casings. The webbing runs from each inertia reel through an upper mounting, suspended from the cantrail, to an anchor point on the rear wheel arch.

The inertia reel of the center rear seat is mounted in the back of the seat. The webbing runs through a guide on the top of the seat and is anchored to one of the seat hinge points. The buckles for the rear seat belts are also attached to the seat hinge points.

Third row seat belts
The inertia reel of each third row rear seat belt is attached to the related E post, behind the loadspace side trim casing.The webbing runs from the inertia reel, through an upper mounting on the E post to an anchor point on the loadspace floor. The buckle is mounted on the inboard side of the seat.
