Pretensioner Front Seat Belt Buckle

The pretensioner front seat belt buckle contains a mechanically controlled pyrotechnical piston which reduces the seat belt slack when it is activated in a head-on or angled front collision. The pretensioner front seat belt buckle must be replaced after an accident that causes its activation.

Three-Point ELR Seat Belt

The three-point emergency locking retractor (ELR) seat belt is always unlocked, allowing the passenger freedom of movement, except in emergencies (rapid deceleration, rapid acceleration, or hard cornering maneuvers).

Two-Point LAP Rear Center Seat Belt

The two-point lap rear center seat belt is a single continuous length of webbing. The webbing is routed from the anchor through a latch plate and into a single retractor.

Operational and Functional Checks

Caution :
  1. Inspect all seat belt anchor bolts and the screws in order to verify that they are secure.
  2. Inspect the seat belt buckle. The buckle must lock and unlock easily.
  3. After inserting the latch into the buckle, tug sharply on the belt. The buckle must remain locked.
  4. Fully extend the shoulder belt portion to make sure that there is no twisting or tears in the belt.
  5. Let the shoulder belt retract fully. The belt should retract easily.
