Shoulder Belt / Power Passive Restraint System Interaction

SHOULDER BELT RETRACTOR/POWER PASSIVE RESTRAINT TRACK SYSTEM INTERACTION
Shoulder retractors that connect to the motorized slider (located in the center console) are vehicle sensitive and will lock if the vehicle exceeds a 17 degree angle or 0.6 g of deceleration forces. Retractors may lock under moderate cornering or while descending a winding downhill grade. They may also lock while braking to a stop at a downhill intersection or on aggressive stops on any grade. The front retractors will unlock when 6.35 mm (1/4 in.) of belt is fed back into the retractor.

When the shoulder belt retractor is locked and the corresponding door is opened, the slider (mouse) will begin to move from the B pillar position to the A pillar position. However the shoulder belt retractor will not unlock, which will cause the slider (mouse) to hesitate or stop as it rounds the corner from the B pillar. To correct this condition, close the door and release the shoulder belt retractor by allowing greater than 6.35 mm (1/4 in.) of belt to be fed back into the shoulder belt retractor.
