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 0.6g 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 1/4 inch (6.35mm) 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 1/4 inch (6.35mm) of belt to be fed back into the shoulder belt retractor.
