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.
Page 214 of 947
Restraining Devices (01.20)
Body System (01.00)1-14-2 Workshop Manual May 2007
mounted onto a spindle (torsion bar) which once the sensor
has locked the retractor reel and a predetermined load is
applied, twists and allows additional webbing into the
system. The deceleration force required to initiate this
sequence is approximately th e same as that required to
initiate airbag deployment. The torsion bar load limiting
device will only react if the safety belt is in use at the time of
the impact.
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
The retractors in all seat posi tions feature ELR. During any
period of sudden deceleration, or under lateral load when
cornering at speed, a sensor weight within the safety belt
retractor moves a locking pawl against the teeth on the
retractor reel, which then locks the retractor preventing any
further release of webbing. As soon as the load applied onto
the retractor through the safety belt webbing is removed the
locking pawl releases the retractor reel and normal
movement is returned to the retractor.
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
Automatic locking retractors (ALR) are installed to all
passenger seat positions.
The safety belt webbing on these are clearly marked to show
their operating feature. To initiate the ALR system, fasten the
safety belt into it’s buckle and pull all of the webbing from
the retractor, as the safety belt is released the retractor locks
allowing travel in only one plane thus producing a fixed
length restraint and preventing the safety belt from
introducing slack, making any child seat it may be restraining
secure. The ALR system of the retractor is disengaged by
releasing the safety belt and allowing the safety belt to fully
retract onto the reel. Caution
It should be considered th at during any event that
utilizes the full capability of the safety belts, the
webbing may have been elongated and the torsion bar may have twisted. For this reason, if a vehicle is
involved in an accident which results in the deployment of the airbag(s), all the safety belts that were in use at
the time of the accident MUST be renewed.

Airbag System
The airbag system is designed to provide increased collision
protection for front seat occu pants in addition to that
provided by the safety belt system. Safety belt use is
necessary to obtain the best occupant protection and to
receive the full advantages of the airbag system.
This vehicle is equipped with dr iver, passenger, side impact
airbags and seat belt pretensioners, which are electrically
controlled an RCM (Restraints Control Module).
The driver and passenger airbags (A) only deploy in a serious
front collision. The side airbags (B (one airbag in each front
seat)) only deploy according to which side has been
impacted in a serious side collision.
The purpose of the driver, passenger and side airbags is to
provide additional protection for the front seat occupants in
the event of a serious impact (front or side impacts). The
airbags are supplementary to the seat belts.
Airbag Deployment
The noise and gas associated with the deployment of the
airbags are not injurious to health.
Driver airbag Module
The driver airbag module is installed in the steering wheel,
the cover forming the outer surface of the steering wheel
boss. The cover has a split line moulded into its surface
allowing the airbag to exit through the cover when the
system deploys.
No routine maintenance is required and there are no
serviceable parts. The driver airbag module is replaced as an
assembly.
Passenger Airbag Module
The passenger airbag module is located above the glove
compartment behind a deployment panel.
The passenger airbag deployment panel hinges up out of the
way during airbag deployment.
The passenger airbag module is replaced as an assembly.
There is no routine maintenance required and there are no
serviceable parts.
Side Airbag Module
A side impact airbag module is mounted in the outboard
bolster of each front seat and uses compressed argon to
inflate. It provides protection for the thorax (the part of the
torso between the neck and the abdomen). In a side airbag
module deployment situation, the airbag module deploys
from behind a hard trim panel.
Clockspring
The airbag clockspring continuously transfers electrical
signals from the driver airbag module to the airbag sensor.
The airbag clockspring is mounted on the steering column,
behind the steering wheel and does not contain any
serviceable components. Ensure that the steering wheel is
locked in the central position before commencing any work
on the steering column, wheel or airbag.
Control Module
The primary purpose of the RCM is to discriminate between
an event that warrants an airbag system deployment and an

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.

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.
