SEATS, SEAT BELTS, AND INTERIOR
2) Inner belt ASSY
The inner belt ASSY is parallel to the belt guide. Its buckle is
secured in a fixed position, regardless of physique and seating
position.
Others
1) Knee panel
The knee panel is located below the instrument panel.
It restrains the lower body of the driver and passenger in a
front-end collision.
Operation
Fig. 10
The automatic shoulder belts (for the driver and passenger)
are controlled by a control unit located behind the motor
ASSY under the lower part of the right hand side rear quarter
section.
These belts operate in response to the opening/closing of
the corresponding doors.
When the door is closed, the shoulder anchor moves to the
extreme end of the center pillar guide rail. It stops and locks
there (Fig. 11). When the door is opened, the door lock switch
turns from CLOSED to OPEN, turning relay L 1 ON.

2) Submarine-preventing material (incorporated in passenger
seat cushion)
Unlike the driver's seat, the position of the passenger seat can
be optionally selected. (In other words, the passenger is less
restrained than the driver.) As a result, the distance between
the passenger's knee and knee panel is not constant. For this
reason, submarine-preventing material is incorporated in the
front edge of the passenger seat cushion to help increase the
effect of the knee panel.
