REAR INFLATABLE SAFETY BELT (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the rear
inflatable safety belt.
The rear inflatable safety belts are fitted in the shoulder portion of the
safety belts of the second-row outboard seating positions.
Note: The rear inflatable safety belts are compatible with most infant
and child safety car seats and belt positioning booster seats when
properly installed. This is because they are designed to fill with a cooled
gas at a lower pressure and at a slower rate than traditional airbags.
After inflation, the shoulder portion of the safety belt remains cool to the
touch.
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.
• Safety belt warning light and chime. See Safety belt warning
lights and indicators in this chapter.
• Crash Sensors and Airbag Indicator. See Crash sensors and
Airbag Indicator in the Supplemental Restraint System
chapter.
