Active Restraints

An occupant restraint system is standard factory - installed safety equipment on this model. Available occupant restraints for this model 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.

The active restraints for this model include:
- 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. Both front seat belt buckles include an integral Hall - effect seat belt switch that detects whether the front seat belts have been fastened.
- Rear Seat Belts - All three rear 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, self - cinching latch plates for compatibility with child seats, and fixed lower seat belt anchors secured to the rear floor panel by fasteners shared with the rear seat back panel bracket. The rear seat center seating position has an inertia latch - type emergency locking retractor that is secured within the seat back to the rear seat back panel. The center retractor for this model is switchable from an emergency locking retractor to an automatic locking retractor for compatibility with child seats. The center retractor also has a cable that connects to the seat back latch, which locks the retractor spool unless the seat back is fully latched. The rear seat center seating position belt lower anchor is secured to the rear floor panel with the left outboard seat belt buckle. All three rear seat belts have fixed end - release seat belt buckles secured to the rear floor panel by fasteners shared with the rear seat back panel bracket, a single buckle unit on the left side and a double buckle unit on the right side.
- Child Restraint Anchors - All vehicles are equipped with three, fixed - position, child seat upper tether anchors for the rear seating. 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 rear outboard seating position. The lower anchors are integral to the rear seat back panel bracket on the rear floor panel and are accessed from the front of the rear seat where the seat back meets the seat cushion.

The primary passenger restraints in this or any other vehicle are the standard equipment factory - installed seat belts and child restraint anchors. Seat belts and child restraint anchors are referred to as an active restraint because the vehicle occupants are required to physically fasten and properly adjust these restraints in order to benefit from them. See the vehicle glove box for more information on the features, use and operation of all of the factory - installed active restraints.
