Active Restraints
The active restraints for this vehicle include:
- Child Restraint Anchors - All vehicles are equipped with three, fixed-position, child seat upper tether anchors for the second row seating. A single upper tether anchor is integral to the back of the left seat back panel, and two more are integral to the right seat back panel. Two lower anchors are also provided for each outboard seating position. Three lower anchors are integral to the seat back hinge brackets, while the fourth is integral to a dedicated child anchor bracket. All lower anchors are accessed from the front of the second row seat where the seat back meets the seat cushion.
- Front Seat Belts - Both front seating positions are equipped with three-point seat belt systems employing a lower B-pillar mounted inertia latch-type emergency locking retractors, height-adjustable upper B-pillar mounted turning loops, a traveling lower seat belt anchor secured to the outboard side of the seat frame, and a traveling end-release seat belt buckle secured to the inboard side of the seat frame. The driver side front seat belt retractor includes an integral plunger-actuated mechanical seat belt switch that detects whether the driver side front seat belt has been fastened. In domestic market vehicles, a second seat belt switch on the passenger side retractor detects whether the passenger side front seat belt has been fastened.
- Second Row Seat Belts - All three second row seating positions are equipped with three-point seat belt systems. The outboard seating position belts employ lower C-pillar mounted inertia latch-type emergency locking retractors, fixed position upper C-pillar mounted turning loops and fixed lower seat belt anchors secured to the rear floor panel. The second row seat center seating position has an inertia latch-type emergency locking retractor that is secured within the right D-pillar and has a dedicated, keyed anchor buckle that allows the belt anchor to be quickly detached when the right second row seat back is folded down for additional cargo space. All of the second row seat belt retractors for this vehicle are also switchable from an emergency locking retractor to an automatic locking retractor for compatibility with child seats. The center seating position belt lower anchor buckle is secured along with the right outboard seat belt buckle to the rear floor panel through the child lower anchor bracket. All three second row seat belts have fixed end-release seat belt buckles.
