Energy management retractors

Your vehicle has a safety belt system equipped with energy management
retractors at the driver and front outboard passenger seating positions.

An energy management retractor is a device which pays out webbing in a
controlled manner. This feature is designed to help further reduce the
risk of force-related injuries to the occupant.

Safety belt systems equipped with an energy management retractor must

The front and rear safety restraints in the vehicle are combination lap
and shoulder belts. The front passenger outboard and rear outboard seat
safety belts have two types of locking modes described below:
