Driver Side, Front

The lap / shoulder safety belt webbing is attached to a retractor which is located on the quarter panel.

- The retractor is designed to let the webbing freely move in or out except during vehicle hard braking, hard cornering or impacts of approximately 8 km/h (5 mph) or more.

- The retractor is automatically locked by a mechanically-actuated inertia sensor.

- The front safety belt retractor also has a belt-sensitive locking feature that will lock up if the belt is pulled quickly.

NOTE: Depending on the forward or rearward position of the seat, the webbing may or may not pass through the guide on the seat back.

- The webbing then passes through a guide on the B-pillar behind the occupant's shoulder which directs the webbing at the proper downward angle though a guide on the seat back, over the occupant's shoulder and chest to the lap belt buckle.

- The safety belt has a tongue that latches to front safety belt buckle. The webbing continues through the tongue outboard to the sill below door opening. The webbing then acts as a lap belt.

- The front buckle is routed along the side of the seat and is anchored to the front floor pan.

- Attaching the tongue and buckle secures the occupant with both lower and upper restraints. This attachment of the tongue and buckle can be accomplished by a single continuous movement.
