Function And Features
The seat belt assembly restrains the occupant in the middle rear seat during a collision or sudden deceleration. The system consists of webbing, a retractor mechanism and mounting bracket. The retractor stores and locks the webbing in a rapid event, while the webbing itself absorbs and distributes forces. The correct fit and secure mounting are critical for occupant safety.
Installation Recommendations

- Inspect Mounting Points And Threaded Inserts For Damage Or Corrosion; Repair The Body Structure If Necessary Before Mounting The New Belt.

- Tighten Fasteners To Manufacturer Specification Using A Torque Wrench Where Specified In The Workshop Manual.
