Inertia reel
The seat belts on driver's and front passenger seats and on the rear outer seats
are equipped with an inertia reel on the shoulder part of the seat belt. When slow-
ly pulling on the seat belt or in normal driving, the shoulder part of the seat belt
provides full freedom of movement. During rapid pulling on the seat belt, sudden
braking, driving downhill, in curves and during acceleration, however, the inertia
reel blocks the seat belt.
