Five Point Restraint System

ACR vehicles are equipped with two complete and separate belt Systems: the conventional 3-point belt and a 5-point belt harness. The five-point belt system consists of inboard (tunnel) and outboard (door sill) lap belts, right and left shoulder belts, and a floor mounted anti-submarining center belt. A single latch mechanism is permanently attached to the inboard lap belt and releases all remaining belts simultaneously. The single latch mechanism is operated by turning a lever clockwise 90 degrees. The inboard and outboard lap belt anchorage's are shared with the conventional 3-point belt and are permanently bolted to the vehicle. The remaining three belts (right and left shoulder and floor mounted center belt) terminate with hooks and are snapped onto eyelets. These belts may be removed by unsnapping from the eye bolts.
