The rear inflatable seatbelts are located in
the shoulder portion of the seatbelts of the
second-row outboard seating positions.
The rear inflatable seatbelt consists of the
following:
• An inflatable bag located in the shoulder
seatbelt webbing.
• Lap seatbelt webbing with automatic
locking mode.
• Crash sensors and monitoring system
with readiness indicator. See Crash
Sensors and Airbag Indicator (page 55).
How does the rear inflatable seatbelt
system work?
WARNING
If the rear inflatable seatbelt has
deployed, it will not function again. The
rear inflatable seatbelt system must be
replaced by an authorized dealer.
The rear inflatable seatbelts will function like
standard restraints in everyday usage.

During a crash of sufficient force, the
inflatable belt will inflate from inside the
webbing.
E146365
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 seatbelts. This helps reduce pressure
on the chest and helps control head and
neck motion for passengers.
The rear inflatable seatbelts are designed to
inflate in frontal or near-frontal crashes and
some side impact crashes. The fact that the
rear inflatable seatbelt did not inflate in a
crash does not mean that something is
wrong with the system. Rather, it means the
forces were not of the type sufficient to
cause activation.
Stowing the Rear Inflatable Seatbelt
The rear inflatable seatbelt has a snap
retainer for stowing the seatbelt against the
quarter trim panel when it is not in use. This
will prevent the seatbelt tongue from rattling
against the side of the seat and keep it out
of the way when folding or tumbling the
second row seats.
