Front Passenger Side

The lap/shoulder safety belt has a dual retractor system.
- The shoulder belt retractor is attached to a bracket located in the quarter panel. The lap belt retractor is located at the base of quarter panel at the rear of the door opening.

- The safety belt webbing of the two retractors is joined to a common tongue.

- The lap/shoulder safety belt retractor is designed to let the webbing move freely in or out except during vehicle, hard braking, hard cornering or impacts of approximately 8 km/h (5 mph) or more. Then it is automatically locked by a mechanically-triggered inertia sensor.

- The convertible has a dual locking mode retractor on the lap belt part of the lap / shoulder belt on the front seat passenger side. The retractor modes function as follows:

- In the vehicle-sensitive (emergency) locking mode, the lap belt retractor will allow freedom of movement, locking tight only in hard braking and hard cornering or impacts of approximately 8 km/h (5 mph) or more.

- The lap belt retractor cannot be made to lock by pulling on the belt.

- In the automatic locking mode, the lap belt retractor will remain locked and does not allow freedom of movement.

- This mode provides tight lap belt on the hips and child seat or infant carrier installation.

- This mode must be used when installing a child seat or infant carrier on the front passenger seat. To switch the retractor from the emergency locking mode to the automatic locking mode, perform the following steps:

1. Buckle the lap/shoulder belt.
2. Grasp the lap part of the belt below the child seat instruction label and pull upward until all of the stored belt is out and a click is heard. At this time, the lap belt retractor is in the automatic locking mode (child restraint mode).
3. Allow the belt to retract. A clicking sound will be heard as the belt retracts. This indicates that the retractor is in the automatic locking mode.
4. Pull down on the belt to remove slack in the belt.

NOTE: When the lap/shoulder belt is unbuckled and allowed to retract completely, the retractor will switch to the vehicle-sensitive (emergency) locking mode.
