Circuit/System Description


The two rear seat belt switches are 2-wire switch wired to the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module using a signal circuit and a low reference circuit. When the seat belt is unbuckled the switch is closed, and when the seat belt is buckled the switch is open. The Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module sends the status of the rear seat belt via serial data to the driver information center (DIC). After receiving the message, the driver information center controls the illumination of the rear seat belt indicators.

Second row seating positions monitored for safety belt use are represented by a colored symbol on the

instrument cluster indicating safety belt status.

When the vehicle is started, two safety belt symbols come on and stay on for several seconds to alert the driver that passengers may need to fasten their safety belts. After the passenger safety belt is buckled, the corresponding safety belt symbol in the instrument cluster turns green. If a safety belt is not initially buckled, the instrument cluster displays a gray safety belt symbol.

While the vehicle is moving, if a second row passenger who was previously buckled becomes unbuckled, the corresponding safety belt symbol will change to flashing red for several seconds and a chime may sound.

Diagnostic Aids


image The mechanical stop in the buckle may prevent latching but the switch in the buckle may momentarily open and the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module would interpret this as an occupant in the rear seat position and that the buckle was attempting to latch.

image If a rear occupant attempts to latch the seat belt into the wrong buckle, the indicator may illuminate and the system assumes there is an occupant not buckled in that seat position.

image An unseated connector can appear as a buckled seat belt connection.

Restraint System


NOTE: If the vehicle has been in a collision, refer to Repairs and Inspections Required

After a Collision for additional information.


The vehicle has front and rear seat belts that are the primary means of occupant restraint. Seat belts help to keep the occupants inside the passenger compartment and to gradually reduce the impact forces during the following events:

image Frontal impact type crashes image Rear impact type crashes

image Side impact type crashes image Roll-over type crashes

All seat belt retractors have emergency locks. The retractors remain unlocked during normal operation and under normal driving conditions. The retractors remain unlocked during normal conditions in order to allow free movement of the upper body of each occupant. A pendulum locks the seat belt webbing into position. The pendulum causes a locking bar to engage a cog on the spool of the retractor mechanism when the following conditions occur:

image A rapid extraction of the seat belt webbing from the retractor image An abrupt change in vehicle speed

image An abrupt change in vehicle direction

image Operation of the vehicle on a steep upgrade image Operation of the vehicle on a downgrade

The seat belts have an automatic locking (cinch) feature. The cinch feature is activated when the seat belt webbing is completely extended from the retractor. The cinch feature prevents the webbing from extending beyond the position from which it is allowed to retract. Use of the cinch feature is recommended for securing a child seat. The cinch feature may be cancelled by allowing the webbing to wind back completely into the retractor. After the cinch feature is cancelled, the webbing is unlocked. After the cinch feature is cancelled, the webbing will extend from the retractor. This vehicle is also equipped with a supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system. Refer to Supplemental Inflatable Restraint System Description and Operation .

Front Seat Belt System


The front seat belt system includes a driver and passenger seat belt pretensioner retractor and anchor. Both front seat belt pretensioners includes a seat belt switch in the seat buckle which controls a reminder lamp and a tone alarm.


NOTE: The front passenger seat is equipped with a passenger presence detection sensor, which detects an occupant. If the passenger presence detection sensor detects an empty front passenger seat, then the passenger fasten safety belt indicator will be disabled.


image When the driver seat belt is buckled and the vehicle mode switch is in Vehicle ON mode, the following events will occur:

image The tone alarm will not operate.

image The reminder lamp will not operate.

image When the passenger seat belt is buckled with an occupant sitting in the passenger front seat, Vehicle ON,

the following events will occur:

image The tone alarm will not operate.

image The reminder lamp, which is located within the Passenger Air Bag Disable Indicator, will not be turned ON.

image When the driver seat belt is not buckled and Vehicle ON, the following events will occur: image The tone alarm will operate for 4 - 8 seconds and then go OFF.

image The fasten safety belt indicator will turn ON for 20 seconds, until the driver seat belt is buckled.

image When the passenger seat belt is not buckled with an occupant sitting in the passenger front seat, then the Vehicle ON, the following events will occur:

image The tone alarm will operate for 4 - 8 seconds and then go OFF.

image The reminder lamp, which is located within the Passenger Air Bag Disable Indicator, will be turned ON.

Rear Seat Belt System


The Rear Seat Belt System includes the following components:

image The rear seat belt retractor is located at the wheelhouse panel and attached to the floor panel by the rear seat shoulder belt retractor bracket.

image The rear seat belt buckles are attached to each seat.

image Each of the rear seat belts include a seat belt switch in the seat buckle which controls a reminder lamp and a tone alarm.

image If both rear seat belts are unbuckled when the vehicle is started the rear seat belt indicators show as red indicators in the Driver Information Center.

image If any rear seat belts are buckled when the vehicle is started, the corresponding indicators will be green for that seat.

image When in Vehicle ON mode, a rear seat belt is buckled, the rear doors are closed and the speed exceeds 10 kph (6.5 mph) for a continuous 35 seconds the following events will occur:

image The tone alarm will not operate.

image The green rear seat belt indicators in the Driver Information Center will illuminate for 35 seconds.

image When in Vehicle ON mode, a rear seat belt is not buckled for the duration of the ignition cycle, the rear doors are closed and the speed exceeds 10 kph (6.5 mph) for a continuous 35 seconds the following events will occur:

image The tone alarm will not operate.

image The red rear seat belt indicator in the Driver Information Center will remain illuminated.

image When in Vehicle ON mode, a rear seat belt is buckled and during that ignition cycle is unbuckled with the rear doors closed at all times and the speed exceeding 10 kph (6.5 mph) for a continuous 35 seconds the following events will occur:

image The tone alarm will operate for 3 seconds.

image The red rear seat belt indicator in the Driver Information Center will illuminate and remain on for a continuous 35 seconds until the seat belt is buckled again or the ignition cycle ends.

Child Seat Restraint System

WARNING: A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured if the right-front


A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured if the right-front passengers air bag inflates. This is because the back of a rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating air bag. NEVER use a rear-facing child restraint in this vehicle. If a forward-facing child restraint is suitable for your child, ALWAYS move the front passenger seat as far back as it will go and then install the child restraint. Be sure the child restraint position does not conflict with any additional requirements provided by the manufacturer. For more information, refer to the vehicle owners manual and the instruction that came with the child restraint.

The child seat may only be used in a forward facing seating location. The child seat should be installed and secured according to the manufacturer's directions. If the child seat has a top strap, the seat will need to be anchored. Passengers should not be allowed to sit at locations where the seat belts are being used to secure the child seat.

All vehicles are equipped with a dual-mode type retractor with emergency and automatic locking features. The automatic locking feature is for restraint of a child seat. The child seat can be secured by pulling the seat belt all the way out to lock it. Then tighten the seat belt around the child seat.

If a child seat is to be used in the second seat position, a special dealer-installed anchor must be used in order to anchor the child seat top strap. This only applies to the seats designed with the top strap provision and for the vehicles sold in Canada. In order to ensure the correct top strap angle, the child seat is only to be used at the seating position for which the top strap anchor is installed.

Fasten Safety Belt Indicators


There are three fasten safety belt indicators for this vehicle. The driver fasten safety belt reminder is displayed in the Instrument Cluster, the passenger fasten safety belt reminder is displayed in the passenger air bag disable indicator, and the rear fasten safety belt reminder is displayed in the driver information center. The fasten safety belt indicator may only be ON during RUN. The fasten safety belt indicator illuminates under the following conditions:

image During the bulb check

image The Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) sends the status of the driver seat belt to the instrument cluster via serial data. The passenger seat belt status is sent to the passenger air bag disable indicator via serial data. The rear seat belt status is sent to the driver information center via serial data. If any of the seat belts are unfastened, the instrument cluster will send a message requesting a chime sound to be turned ON after a bulb check.
