Safety Belt Retractor - Second Row, Center
Removal and Installation
WARNING: After any crash, all of the following safety belt assemblies and attaching hardware must be inspected to verify correct function:
- Retractors
- Buckles
- Belt tension sensor (BTS) (if equipped)
- Front safety belt buckle support assemblies (slide bar) (if equipped)
- Safety belt shoulder belt height adjusters (if equipped)
- Child safety seat tether bracket assemblies
- Automatic locking retractor (ALR) feature for child safety seats (passenger seating positions only)
If any safety belt assembly is damaged, does not operate correctly or does not pass all of the Functional Tests in the Component Tests, a new safety belt assembly must be installed. If any safety belt assembly attaching areas are damaged or distorted, the sheet metal must be restored to its original structural integrity and new safety belt assembly and attaching hardware must be installed. Failure to install new safety belt assemblies and attaching hardware may increase the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
After any crash that results in deployment of the driver and/or front outboard passenger safety belt pretensioners, new driver and/or front outboard passenger safety belt systems (including retractors, buckles and height adjusters) must be installed. Failure to install new safety belt systems increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
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. For additional information, refer to Safety Belt System Description and Operation.
