SAFETY BELT RETRACTOR - SECOND ROW, CENTER







Removal and Installation

WARNING: All safety belt assemblies (including retractors, belt tension sensors [BTS] if equipped, buckles, shoulder belt height adjusters [if equipped], child safety seat tether attachments and attaching hardware) should be inspected after any collision. All new belt assemblies should be installed unless a qualified technician finds the assemblies show no damage and operate correctly. Belt assemblies not in use during a collision should also be inspected and new assemblies installed if either damage or incorrect operation is noted.

The automatic locking retractor (ALR) feature of the safety belt retractor must be checked by a qualified technician to verify that the ALR feature for a child safety seat is functioning correctly, in addition to other checks for correct safety belt system function. A new belt and retractor assembly must be installed if the safety belt assembly's ALR feature, or any other safety belt function, is not operating correctly when inspected according to the functional inspection procedures. Failure to install a new belt and retractor assembly could increase the risk of injury in collisions.

NOTE: The retractor may be equipped with an additional web stop button (small, thin, round button, not to be confused with the larger web stop button) located on the safety belt webbing. This button is only used for vehicle assembly and serves no other functional purpose. The button can possibly be retracted under the trim bezel making it difficult to pull the safety belt webbing out of the retractor. To service, remove this web stop button. Do not install a new safety belt retractor to eliminate this condition. Any resulting appearance concerns with the webbing can be worked out by hand.

1. Remove the second row 20 percent seat backrest trim cover.
2. Remove the seat backrest foam pad.
3. Remove the safety belt retractor cover foam.
4. Remove the 2 screws from the seat belt retractor cover and remove the cover.
5. Remove the safety belt retractor bolt.
- To install, tighten to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft).







6. Pinch and release the safety belt retractor guide from the seat backrest frame and remove the safety belt retractor.

7. NOTE:
- Make sure the safety belt webbing is not twisted prior to installation.
- When installing the safety belt retractor, make sure to engage the anti-rotation tab to the sheet metal.
- Remove the shipping clip after safety belt retractor installation.

To install, reverse the removal procedure.

8. Check the active restraint system for correct operation.
