Safety Belt System - 2nd Row

System Operation

The shoulder harness retractor is designed to let the webbing move freely in and out at all times, except during vehicle hard braking, hard cornering or an impact of 24 km/h (14.9 mph) or more, when it is automatically locked by a mechanically-actuated inertia sensor (ELR (Emergency Locking Retractor)).

All 3 second row seating positions are equipped with ALRs (Automatic Locking Retractors).
