3-2 Mounting
Section 3: Mounting
• Do not mount equipment above the beltline within 200 mm (8 in) of the side glass from the
A-pillar leading edge to the rear edge of the C-pillar.
• Do not mount equipment on the headliner along the siderails.
• Do not install a partition, divider or equipment that spans the vehicle above the beltline.
Safety Belt Retractor
The safety belt retractors are located in the base of the B-pillars. The pretensioner located in the
retractor is referred to as the ‘‘safety belt retractor pretensioner’’. In the event the restraints control
module (RCM) senses an impact, pretensioners provide improved occupant protection by rapidly
removing slack from the safety belt. Removing slack from the safety belt helps to properly position
the occupant and allows for maximum effectiveness of the safety belts and the air bags.
• Do not use the safety belt retractor bolts for mounting the partition.
• Do not mount any partition hardware on the inboard side of the B-pillar within the bottom 305
mm (12 in).
• Do not mount any partition hardware that will interfere with the proper sealing of the door.
