The rear inflatable safety belt consists of the following:
• An inflatable bag located in the shoulder safety belt webbing.
• Lap safety belt webbing with automatic locking mode.

• Crash sensors and monitoring system with readiness

indicator.

See Crash Sensors and Airbag Indicator in the Supplemental
Restraint System
chapter.

How Does the Rear Inflatable Safety Belt System Work?

WARNING: If the rear inflatable safety belt has deployed, it will
not function again. The rear inflatable safety belt system must be

replaced by an authorized dealer.

• The rear inflatable safety belts will function like standard restraints in

everyday usage.

• 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.
