Front Seat System

The front seat belts on sedans are equipped with an adjustable shoulder belt guide loop. The shoulder belt can be adjusted to one of the four positions by a release switch located at the center pillar. The release switch permits adjustment of the shoulder belt to the height of the occupant.

The front passenger seat and the rear seat retractors are dual-mode type retractors with emergency locking and automatic features.

The automatic locking feature is for use with a child seat.

The front seat belt system includes the following components:

^ The driver and the passenger's retractor side belt. The retractor side belt is located and attached on the center pillar post in all coupes and sedans
^ The front seat center driver and passenger's buckle belts are located between the two front seats.

These buckle belts are attached to the seat. The driver's seat belt system includes a seat belt switch in the driver's seat buckle-side belt. The seat belt switch controls a reminder lamp and a tone alarm. The tone lamp and the reminder lamp will not operate when the following conditions exist:

^ The driver's seat belt is buckled
^ The driver's door is closed
^ The ignition switch is turned ON.

When the above conditions exist, the following events will occur:

^ The tone alarm will operate 4 to 8 seconds and then turn off.
^ The reminder lamp will operate for 20 seconds. The reminder lamp will the flash for an additional 55 seconds and then turn off.

Refer to Diagrams in order to diagnose a failure of the remainder lamp or the tone alarm.
