GENERAL INFORMATION
The Automatic Seat Belts are designed to automatically fasten
themselves around the driver and front passenger as they get
into the vehicle and close the front door, thereby,
by a
combination of the lap belt, the knee protector, the corner pad
and the glove box pad (at the lower part of the instrument
panel), protecting them from second collisions during a
front-end crash or similar accident.
The lap belt for the driver’s seat is provided with the ELR
(ELR:Emergency Locking Retractor), and that for the front passen-
ger’s seat with the
ELR-ALR” to support the Child Restraint
System incorporated into the seat. (“ALR: Automatic Locking
Retractor) The buckle tilts toward front and inside helping the
belts be tight around the body.
The
tongue plate on the driver’s seat is provided with
energy-absorbing structure.
The automatic seat belts consist of a driving-device assembly,
shoulder belt, manual lap belt, knee protector, and other
components.
The driving-device assembly is composed of the slide anchor,
the release switch, the guide rail, the “fasten” switch, the
automatic seat belt motor relay, and the driving device.
There is an emergency-release button on the slide anchor; this
button can be used to release the shoulder belt in the event of
an emergency resulting from an accident, etc.
