The ELR's used on the driver and passenger seats are com-
bined. They are located on the upper side of the floor tunnel
in front of the rear seat cushion. The belts extracted from the
ELR's turn at the belt guide and latch on the ERB (Emergency
Release Buckle). These belts are used as shoulder belts.
3) Belt guide'
The belt guide is secured to the slide rail between the driver
and passenger seats, on the floor tunnel. The belt extracted
from the ELR turns at the belt guide and restrains the upper
body of the driver or passenger at a fixed position, regardless
of physique and seating position.
The shoulder belt fits the occupant when pulled to the center
pillar although it appears to be twisted when moved to the
center pillar.
MANUAL LAP BELT
1) Outer belt ASSY
The belt extracted from the ELR (located below the center
pillar) is secured by the belt holder close to the seat hinge
cover. It is within easy reach, regardless of the seating position.
