• During a crash of sufficient force, the inflatable
belt will inflate from inside the webbing.
• The fully inflated belt's increased diameter more
effectively holds the occupant in the appropriate
seating position, and spreads crash forces over
more area of the body than regular safety belts.
This helps reduce pressure on the chest and helps
control head and neck motion for passengers.
Stowing the Rear Inflatable Safety Belt
The rear inflatable safety belt has a snap retainer for stowing the safety
belt against the quarter trim panel when it is not in use. This will
prevent the safety belt tongue from rattling against the side of the seat
and keep it out of the way when folding or tumbling the second row
seats.
