Active Restraints

The active restraints for this vehicle include:

• Child Restraint Anchors  - All standard cab vehicles are equipped with two, fixed-position, child seat upper tether anchors that are integral to the upper cab back panel reinforcement and concealed behind individual trim cover and bezel units that are integral to the cab back trim panel. All vehicles with rear seats are equipped with three child seat upper tether anchor straps that are secured to the upper cab back panel reinforcement, behind the upright rear seat back. Two lower anchors are also provided for each rear outboard seating position on quad or crew cabs. Mega cabs have lower anchors provided for all three rear seating positions. These lower anchors are accessed from the front of the seat where the seat back meets the seat cushion. Child seat upper tether and lower anchors for the front seat are unavailable on quad or crew cab and mega cab vehicles. Likewise, lower anchors for the front seat are not available on standard cab vehicles.
• Front Seat Belts  - Both outboard front seating positions are equipped with three-point seat belt systems employing a lower B-pillar mounted inertia latch-type Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR), a height-adjustable upper B-pillar mounted turning loop, a fixed lower seat belt anchor secured to the lower B-pillar (standard cab) or floor panel adjacent to the B-pillar (quad or crew cab), and a traveling end-release seat belt buckle secured to the inboard seat track. Except for the driver side front seat, the retractors for all vehicles are also switchable from an ELR to an Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) for compatibility with child seats. The front seat belt buckle for the driver side of all vehicles includes an integral seat belt switch that detects whether its seat belt has been fastened. The center front seating position for standard cabs is also equipped with a three-point seat belt employing a floor panel mounted inertia latch-type ELR, a routing bracket and bezel near the top of the cab back panel, and two fixed end-release buckles secured to the center seat cushion frame. One of the center buckles is specially keyed to serve as the center seat belt lower anchor. The center front seating position for quad or crew cab vehicles with a split bench front seat is equipped with a fixed lap belt and an end-release buckle secured to the center seat cushion frame.
• Rear Seat Belts  - On all vehicles equipped with rear seats, each rear seating position is equipped with a three-point seat belt system. Each outboard rear seating position seat belt employs a lower C-pillar mounted inertia latch-type Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR), a fixed position upper C-pillar mounted turning loop, and a fixed lower seat belt anchor secured to the lower C-pillar. The quad or crew cab rear seat center seating position has a rear floor panel mounted inertia latch-type ELR and a routing bracket and bezel on the top of the cab back panel, while the mega cab rear seat center position retractor and a routing bracket and bezel are mounted to the rear seat back panel. A fixed end-release buckle unit for the quad or crew cab right outboard seating position is integral to the right side of the center retractor mounting bracket on the rear floor panel. The end-release buckle units for the quad or crew cab center and left outboard seating positions are individually secured to the rear floor panel on vehicles with the standard equipment rear bench seat, or secured with the rear seat mounting hardware on vehicles with the optional split rear bench seat. The fixed end-release buckle units for all mega cab rear seating positions are secured to the seat cushion frame mounting hardware. The rear seat retractors for all vehicles are also switchable from an ELR to an Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) for compatibility with child seats.
