RESTRAINTS - SERVICE INFORMATION 

DESCRIPTION 

RESTRAINT SYSTEM 

An occupant restraint system is standard factory-installed safety equipment on this vehicle. Available occupant 
restraints for this vehicle include both active and passive types. Active restraints are those which require the 
vehicle occupants to take some action to employ, such as fastening a seat belt; while passive restraints require 
no action by the vehicle occupants to be employed. 

ACTIVE RESTRAINTS 

The active restraints for this vehicle include: 



Child Restraint Anchors - All vehicles are equipped with three, fixed-position, child seat upper tether 
anchors for the second row seat. Two anchors are integral to the back of the left rear seat back panel, and 
one is integral to the right rear seat back panel. Two lower anchors are also provided for each outboard 
second row seating position. Except for the left inboard anchor, these lower anchors are integral to the 
seat brackets on the rear floor panel. The left inboard anchor is integral to the left seat cushion frame. The 
lower anchors are all accessed from the front of the second row seats, where the seat back meets the seat 
cushion.  



Front Seat Belts - Both front seating positions are equipped with three-point seat belt systems employing 
lower B-pillar mounted inertia latch-type emergency locking retractors, height-adjustable upper B-pillar 
mounted turning loops, a traveling lower seat belt anchor secured to the outboard side of the seat frame, 
and a traveling end-release seat belt buckle secured to the inboard side of the seat frame. The front seat 
belt buckles include an integral Hall-effect seat belt switch that detects whether the front seat belts have 
been fastened.  



Second Row Seat Belts - All second row seating positions are equipped with three-point seat belt 
systems. The outboard seating position belts employ lower C-pillar mounted inertia latch-type emergency 
locking retractors, fixed position upper C-pillar mounted turning loops and fixed lower seat belt anchors 
secured to the floor panel. The second row center seating position belt has an inertia latch-type emergency
locking retractor that is integral to the left rear seat back panel. The second row center seating position 
belt lower anchor is secured to the floor panel. All three rear seat belts have fixed end-release seat belt 
buckles secured to the floor panel, a double buckle unit on the right side and a single buckle unit on the 
left side.



Dual Front Airbags - Multistage driver and front passenger airbags are used in this vehicle. This airbag 
system consists of passive, inflatable, Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components and vehicles 
with this equipment can be readily identified by the SRS - AIRBAG logo molded into the driver airbag 
trim cover in the center of the steering wheel and also into the passenger airbag door on the instrument 
panel above the glove box. Vehicles with the airbag system can also be identified by the airbag indicator, 
which will illuminate in the Electro Mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab 
Compartment Node/CCN) for about seven seconds as a bulb test each time the ignition switch is turned to 
the ON position. Dual pyrotechnic-type seat belt tensioners are also integral to the driver and passenger 
front seat belt retractor units and buckle units of all airbag equipped vehicles to work in conjunction with 
the dual front and side curtain airbags.  



Occupant Classification System - Vehicles manufactured for sale in North America (except Mexico) 
also include an Occupant Classification System (OCS) with components that are located on the passenger

side front seat. These components include an Occupant Classification Module (OCM) and four seat 
weight sensors on the passenger side front seat. Vehicles equipped with the OCS components can be 
readily identified by a passenger airbag on/off indicator (4) located to the right of the hazard switch (3) in 
the instrument panel switch pod (1) near the base of the instrument panel center bezel.  



Side Curtain Airbags - Side curtain airbags are standard equipment for this vehicle when it is also 
equipped with dual front airbags. This airbag system consists of passive, inflatable SRS components and 
vehicles with this equipment can be readily identified by a molded identification trim plug with the SRS -
AIRBAG logo located near the tops of the B and C-pillar trim.

The SRS includes the following major components, which are described in further detail elsewhere in this 
service information: 

Airbag Indicator - The airbag indicator is integral to the Electro Mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) 
(also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN), which is located on the instrument panel in front of 
the driver.  

Clockspring - The clockspring is located near the top of the steering column, directly beneath the 
steering wheel.  

Driver Airbag (4) - The driver airbag is located in the center of the steering wheel, beneath the driver 
airbag trim cover.  

Driver Knee Blocker - The driver knee blocker is a structural unit secured to the back side of and 
integral to the instrument panel steering column opening cover.
