DESCRIPTION

RESTRAINT SYSTEM

An occupant restraint system is standard factory-installed safety equipment on this vehicle. Available occupant
restraints for this vehicle include both active and passive types. Active restraints are those which require the
vehicle occupants to take some action to employ, such as fastening a seat belt; while passive restraints require
no action by the vehicle occupants to be employed.

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 seat. Two anchors are integral to the back of the left rear seat back panel, and
one is integral to the right rear seat back panel. Two lower anchors are also provided for each outboard
second row seating position. Except for the left inboard anchor, these lower anchors are integral to the
seat brackets on the rear floor panel. The left inboard anchor is integral to the left seat cushion frame. The
lower anchors are all accessed from the front of the second row seats, where the seat back meets the seat
cushion.



Front Seat Belts - Both front seating positions are equipped with three-point seat belt systems employing
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 front seat
belt buckles include an integral Hall-effect seat belt switch that detects whether the front seat belts have
been fastened.



Second Row Seat Belts - All 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 floor panel. The second row center seating position belt has an inertia latch-type emergency
locking retractor that is integral to the left rear seat back panel. The second row center seating position
belt lower anchor is secured to the floor panel. All three rear seat belts have fixed end-release seat belt
buckles secured to the floor panel, a double buckle unit on the right side and a single buckle unit on the
left side.



Dual Front Airbags - Multistage driver and front passenger airbags are used in this vehicle. This airbag
system consists of passive, inflatable, Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components and vehicles
with this equipment can be readily identified by the SRS - AIRBAG logo molded into the driver airbag
trim cover in the center of the steering wheel and also into the passenger airbag door on the instrument
panel above the glove box. Vehicles with the airbag system can also be identified by the airbag indicator,
which will illuminate in the Electro Mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab
Compartment Node/CCN) for about seven seconds as a bulb test each time the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position. Dual pyrotechnic-type seat belt tensioners are also integral to the driver and passenger
front seat belt retractor units and buckle units of all airbag equipped vehicles to work in conjunction with
the dual front and side curtain airbags.



Occupant Classification System - Vehicles manufactured for sale in North America (except Mexico)
also include an Occupant Classification System (OCS) with components that are located on the passenger

side front seat. These components include an Occupant Classification Module (OCM) and four seat
weight sensors on the passenger side front seat. Vehicles equipped with the OCS components can be
readily identified by a passenger airbag on/off indicator (4) located to the right of the hazard switch (3) in
the instrument panel switch pod (1) near the base of the instrument panel center bezel.



Side Curtain Airbags - Side curtain airbags are standard equipment for this vehicle when it is also
equipped with dual front airbags. This airbag system consists of passive, inflatable SRS components and
vehicles with this equipment can be readily identified by a molded identification trim plug with the SRS -
AIRBAG logo located near the tops of the B and C-pillar trim.
