DATE December, 1987
MODEL 1987-1988 Precis
PURPOSE
This bulletin provides a detailed procedure for installing a supplementary manual seat belt to the front passenger seat of 1987-1988 Precis vehicles equipped with the passive restraint system. The manual seat belt allows a child or child restraint system (infant carrier or child seat) to be positioned in the front seat without using the passive seat belt. Without the manual seat belt, the child or child restraint system must be installed in the rear seat.
Anchorage points for the manual seat belt are provided at the front seat inner bracket and at the base of the center pillar on vehicles equipped with the passive seat belts. Use the following Parts Information and Installation Procedure for customers who request the manual seat belt.
Please note that the customer should be charged for parts and labor for the manual seat belt.
PARTS INFORMATION
The supplementary manual seat belt that is used in the front passenger seat is the same static 2-point type seat belt assembly that is used in the rear seat, center position.
