10-2 RESTRAINT SYSTEM
General Description
SEAT BELT WITH ELR
The seat belt with Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) is designed so that it locks immediately (to prevent the
webbing from being pulled out of the retractor any further) when any of the following items is detected as
exceeding each set value; speed at which the webbing is pulled out of the retractor, acceleration or deceleration
of the vehicle speed, and inclination.
SEAT BELT WITH A-ELR
The automatic and emergency locking retractor (A-ELR) works as an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) till its
webbing is pulled all the way out and then on as an Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) till it is retracted fully.
ALR :
Automatically locks when the webbing is pulled out from the retractor and allowed to retract even a little.
Then the webbing can not be pulled out any further, unless it is wound all the way back into the retractor, which
releases the lock and allows the webbing to be pulled out.
SEAT BELT WITH PRETENSIONER (IF EQUIPPED)
The seat belt with ELR and a pretensioner has a pretensioner mechanism which operates in linkage with the air
bag in addition to the above described ELR. The pretensioner takes up the sag of the seat belt in occurrence of
a front collision with an impact larger than a certain set value, thereby enhancing restraint performance.
DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS
The driver and front passenger side air bags are components of the air bag system. In occurrence of a front col-
lision with an impact larger than a certain set value, they are activated by the ignition signal from SDM to supple-
ment protection offered by the driver and front passenger seat belts.
• the driver air bag (inflator) module is deployed from the center of the steering column
• the passenger air bag (inflator) module from the top of the instrument panel in front of the front passenger
seat
For more information, refer to Section 10B “Air Bag System”.
