Body System (01.00)
May 2007 Workshop Manual 1-14-1
Body System (01.00)
Restraining Devices (01.20)
Seat Belts
This vehicle is installed with two inertia reel safety belts. The
inertia belt reels automatically tension the belts to provide
security with comfort. In the event of a collision or during
severe braking, the belt reels will lock.
The driver and front passenger safety belt buckles are
installed with a switch, which is connected to a warning
indicator housed within the DIM. When the ignition is first
turned on the warning indicator will illuminate only if the
seat belt is not fastened. If the safety belt is fastened before
the ignition is turned on the circuit is broken and the
indicator will remain off.
Pre-tensioner and Load Limiting Systems
The driver and front passenger seat belts are equipped with
pre-tensioner and load limiting systems. In most moderate frontal or near frontal accidents, the front
airbag and pre-tensioner syst
ems will deploy simultaneously.
The pre-tensioners take up slack in the front seat belts as the
airbags are expanding. The load limiting system releases belt
webbing in a controlled manner to reduce belt force on the
occupant’s chest.
The RCM receives information on the status of the safety belt
buckles from a switch contained in the buckle. Only
fastened safety belts will activate.
The safety belt retractors, which are mounted within the
base of the B pillars, incorporate a torsion bar load limiting
device. This device consists of a retractor reel which is



In some moderate frontal or ne ar frontal accidents, only the
pre-tensioner system will deploy.

Restraining Devices (01.20)
Body System (01.00)1-14-4 Workshop Manual May 2007
event that does not. The RCM governs the operation of the
whole system and performs continual system diagnostics.
Information on the severity of an impact is received from the
impact sensors.
Variations in the deployment of the front airbag modules are
dependent on the status of the front safety belt buckles.
Dual Inflation Technology
When activated, the airbags will deploy at either a normal or
reduced level of inflation, depending on crash severity.
Various sensors determine the direction and severity of an
impact. The system analyses this information then deploys
the appropriate airbags.
Impact Sensors
Side Impact - Side impact sensors are mounted to the base
of each B-pillar and within each door. In the event of a side
impact, the RCM processes the impact data sent by the side
impact sensor against stored data. The RCM will deploy the
side airbag on the side the deployment request was initiated
and the seat belt pretensioner.
Front Impact - Front impact sensors (x2) are located under
the grill opening panel.
The SRS module processes the impact data sent by the front
impact sensor against stored data, and deploys the front
airbags, and the seat belt pretensioners.
Passenger Airbag Deactivation
The passenger airbag can be deactivated using the PAD
(Passenger Airbag Deactivation) switch. Switching the
passenger airbag off allows children under the age of 12 to
be carried safely in the passenger seat. The PAD switch is
located at the passenger end of the instrument panel and is
accessible when the pa ssenger door is open.
Maintenance

LH Front Seat Belt - Renew
Removal
1. Remove front seat (see Workshop Manual procedure 01.10.AB Seat Assembly - Front - LH - Remove for

Note
Please see the Owner’s Guid e for the full deactivation
procedure.
Warning
Unnecessary deactivation of the passenger airbag is
dangerous. The passenger will not receive the added
protection from the airbag and serious injuries or even
death could occur. With the exception of installing a child seat on the passenge r seat, do not turn the
passenger airbag deactiva tion switch to the off
position.
Warning
Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster
cushion in the passenger seat if the airbag is active.
