Seating and safety restraints
Vehicle sensitive (emergency)
locking mode
The vehicle sensitive mode is the
normal retractor mode, which
locks the belts in response to
vehicle movement. For example, if
the driver brakes suddenly or turns
a corner sharply, the combination
safety belts will lock to restrain
forward movement of the driver

The retractor can be made to lock
by pulling sharply on the belt.

locked in a certain position by the
shoulder belt and the belt does not
adjust tightness during vehicle
movement.
