GENERAL
Three point safety belts are installed at all seat positions. The front safety belts incorporate load limiters and have height adjusters on the B/C pillar. The rear outer safety belts have height adjusters on the D pillar.
On NAS vehicles, all passenger safety belts are the ALR (automatic locking retractor) type for use with child restraint systems.
A safety belt warning lamp and associated message are activated on the instrument cluster, by the lighting control module (LCM), at the beginning of each ignition cycle, as a reminder to fasten safety belts.
Child safety seat tether anchors are installed on the back of each rear outer seat.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
For a detailed description of the safety belt system and operation, refer to the relevant description and operation instruction of the workshop information. Refer to Safety Belt System or Safety Belt System information.
SAFETY INFORMATION
| WARNING | To avoid accidental deployment the back-up power supply must be depleted before beginning any work on the SRS system or its components. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury |
| WARNING | Do not use a multimeter to probe an SRS module. It is possible for the power from the multimeter battery to trigger the activation of the module. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury |
Note. Do not to use a cellular phone or to have a cellular phone in close proximity when working on the SRS system or components
Power supply depletion
Before beginning any work on the SRS system or related components
- Remove the ignition key
- Disconnect the battery leads, ground first
- Wait 2 minutes for the power circuit to discharge
There are comprehensive instructions on the correct procedures for SRS system repairs, refer to the relevant instruction of the workshop information
INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION
| CAUTION | Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT acceptable. Substitution of control modules does not guarantee confirmation of a fault and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being checked and/or the donor vehicle |
Note. Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines including pinpoint tests
- Verify the customer concern by operating the safety belt
- Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage VISUAL INSPECTION Mechanical Electrical Check for the installation of non-standard accessories which may affect or obstruct the function of the safety belt system Frayed or damaged webbing Missing or damaged button stop Pretensioner(s) Buckles/Stalks Fuses Wiring harness fault Correct engagement of electrical connectors Loose or corroded connections Warning lamp bulb(s) Impact sensor(s) Buckle sensor(s) Pretensioner(s) Belt tension sensor(s) Restraints control module
- If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step
- If the cause is not visually evident, carry out the test methods described below, alternatively check for diagnostic trouble codes and refer to the relevant diagnostic trouble code index
For a complete list of all diagnostic trouble codes that could be logged on this vehicle, please refer to appropriate instructions. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index - DTC: Restraints Control Module (RCM) information.

INERTIA REEL SAFETY BELTS
The vehicle is equipped with (two row one), (three row two), and (two row three (seven seat versions only)) inertia reel safety belts
These safety belts are "dual sensitive" which means that they have
- Car sense system - A vehicle motion sensor, which locks the safety belt webbing under braking, cornering, on steep hills and in adverse camber conditions, when parked on a steep incline or driveway or two wheels on a high curb
- Webb sense system - A webbing motion sensor, which locks when the safety belt webbing is extracted suddenly
The safety belts in the following positions are equipped with an automatic locking retractor function

The automatic locking retractor function is a feature to secure a child seat or heavy load to the seat
| Activation | Deactivation |
|---|---|
| NOTE: When automatic locking retractor is activated, no further webbing can be drawn from the safety belt retractor, prior to disengagement of the automatic locking. This can be mistaken as a jammed safety belt retractor Activated by total extraction of the webbing | Automatic locking retractor is deactivated by allowing the webbing to retract until the clicking stops (close to park position) |
| When activated the automatic locking retractor is identified by a clicking noise during webbing retraction | When deactivated the automatic locking retractor safety belt changes state, from a static safety belt to an automatic safety belt |
| NOTE |
|---|
| When automatic locking retractor is activated, no further webbing can be drawn from the safety belt retractor, prior to disengagement of the automatic locking. This can be mistaken as a jammed safety belt retractor |
SAFETY BELT LOCKING TEST
With the vehicle stationary and on level ground take firm hold of the safety belt webbing (on the tongue side of the upper safety belt anchor) and withdraw sharply, the retractor should lock . Preventing further webbing release (repeat this test 3 times) . Any safety belt retractor which fails to lock must not be used and a new safety belt must be installed .
