SAFETY BELT BUCKLES

Front Safety Belt Buckle and Pretensioner
The front safety belt buckle is equipped with a pretensioner as part of an assembly and is secured to the seat. When the safety belt buckle and pretensioner assembly deploys, the buckle moves downward, pulling excess webbing from the lap and shoulder safety belts. If the safety belt buckle and pretensioner assembly is deployed, a new assembly must be installed.

Rear Safety Belt Buckles
The vehicle is equipped with 3 rear safety belt buckles. The LH safety belt buckle is a part of the rear center safety belt retractor and is not serviced separately. To remove the LH safety belt buckle, refer to Safety Belt Retractor - Rear, Center. The RH and center safety belt buckles are mounted to the floor pan. To remove the RH and center safety belt buckles, refer to Safety Belt Buckle - Rear.
