Continuous Loop System

The front outboard safety belt is a continuous-loop system. The outboard combination lap and shoulder belts use a common sliding tongue. To secure the belts, the tongue is inserted into the inboard buckle.

The webbing for the lap belt is anchored inboard to the floor pan or seat frame.

The shoulder safety belt retractor is designed to let the webbing freely move in or out at all times, except during hard braking, hard cornering or impacts of approximately 8 km/h (5 mph) or more, when it is automatically locked by a mechanically actuated inertia sensor. The front outboard safety belt retractors can be made to lock by pulling or jerking on the belt.
