Always leave original equipment seat belts in place and available for use.
Anchor Points, Bolts and Threads
These harness restraints are designed for installation to OEM stock anchor
points providing threads with the dimension of 7/16" 20 UNF. Bolts supplied
match with this 7/16" 20 UNF thread size. Self-drilled holes may be too weak
or may be in an incorrect or dangerous geometrical location. TAKATA does not
take any responsibility for the adequate performance of such anchor points.
Always check for the proper length of bolts used, the stock thread must be
fully filled by the bolt. Tighten 7/16" bolts with a torque of 40 Nm [30 ft-lb].
Incorrect thread dimensions, using bolts that are too short or not
properly tightened bolts may result in belt failure during an
accident. Severe injuries or death may occur.
Lap Belt Anchor Points
1. Anchor points to the car centre/middle
They are either located to the centre tunnel or to the seat structure close
to the seat rail.
2. Outer/Outboard anchor points
They are either located to the door sill or to the seat structure close to the
seat rail. In case of a 2-door car with a lap belt slide-bar at the door sill, use
the front slide attachment point for harness restraint door side lap belt
installation.
Shoulder Belt Anchorages
1. Shoulder belt anchor points for harness restraints with 2 tail straps.
The rear seat lap belt anchor points [D & E] are available for installation.
Always install the shoulder belts [Drift II and Drift III] crossing over to
prevent the shoulder belts from slipping off the shoulders during normal
wear as well as during an accident.
Never install shoulder
belts directly to the
floor behind the seat!

Risk of severe head injury or death during
rebound phase of frontal collision!
Separate TAKATA asm harness belts are supplied for the left and
right sides. Install harness belts on the correct side of vehicle.
Left and right belts are not interchangeable! Make sure asm-label is
on inboard strap.
2. Other anchor points
Self-drilled anchor points or anchor points to a roll cage or harness bar
must meet the following requirements to provide adequate performance:
a) Strength: > 14.7 kN [3300 ft-lb] each
b) Geometry:
Route shoulder belts symmetrically to seat centre line backwards.

≥
Use of improper attachment points will impair system performance.
Inappropriate or weak tail strap anchor points will not withstand the
forces in an accident and increase the risk of personal injury or death
in an accident.
Never attach the tail straps/shoulder belts to anchorages intended for
the fixation of child seats (ISOFIX, LUAS, LATCH, UCSSS or CANFIX),
which are found on the filler panels behind the rear seats of some
passenger cars or the luggage area of some hatchbacks or station
wagons. These child seat anchor points are not strong enough to
withstand the forces of an accident and are not intended for adult
safety belts.
Harness belt systems may only be installed at suitable anchor points
for seat belt systems as originally installed by the vehicle
manufacturer.
For suitable anchor points for make, model and model year of your
vehicle, see Certified Vehicle List (Vehicle Reference List). If in
doubt, ask your dealer to show you where these.
