OPERATION OF AUTOMATIC SEAT BELTS
The operation of the Automatic Seat Belts is as follows.
(1) The belts fasten itself around the occupant when the front
door is closed with the ignition switch in the “ON” position.
(2) The belts release itself from the occupant when the front
door is opened with the ignition switch in the
*“ON” or
“LOCK” or “ACC” position.
(3) The belts cease to fasten itself around the occupant if the
ignition switch is turned to “LOCK” or “ACC” or when the
front door is opened during the belt motion.
(4) The belts for the driver’s and front passenger’s seats
operate independently of each other.

ELR/ALR,
SWITCHOVER MECHANISM
The
ELR/ALR switchover mechanism is installed at the re
tor for the lap belt for the front passenger’s seat,
The component is an assembly supply item, and so is not to be
disassembled. Its construction and operation are, however, as
described below.
Gear
B is coupled with the shaft of the retractor; it rotates in ::the counterclockwise direction when the belt is pulled out.
Gear A is meshed with gear
B, and revolve in the same
direction as gear
B.The illustration
(19PO373) shows the condition when the belt is
completely rewound.
When the belt is pulled out completely, gear A revolves about
three times, and the gear A cam contacts rod A, thereby
pressing rod A. Rod A then presses the stopper, and the
stopper presses the sub
pawl.When the sub pawl is pressed, the internal lock mechanism
functions, and the belt pull-out motion becomes lock, thus
becoming ALR.
When the belt
is rewound about 600 mm (23.6 in.) from the
completely pulled-out position, gear A revolves in the clockwise
direction. with the result that the cam of gear A contacts rod
6and causes rod
B to be pressed.
Rod
B then presses the stopper, thus causing the sub pan -return. thereby unlocking the lock and making pull-out
freti.thus becoming ELR.

however, as described below.
Drum A, the lock plate, and gear A are installed to
the motor shaft. The lock plate and gear A rotate thesame as the--motor shaft.
The drum
&ring is attached to drum A. In addition,
the end of the slide anchor’s tape and the end of the
drive spring are also attached to drum A, and these
are wound to drum A.Drum
B is installed to the tape housing by the
torque shaft.
Gear
B is installed to the torque shaft.
The gear
B and gear A teeth mesh.
There are projections on gear
B and drum B; the
gear
B projection contacts the drum B projection
only when gear
B rotates in the clockwise direction.
and in that way the rotational force of gear
B istransmitted to drum B.
