An occupant restraint system is standard factory-installed safety equipment on this model. Available occupant
restraints for this model include both active and passive types. Active restraints are those which require the vehicle
occupants to take some action to employ, such as fastening a seat belt; while passive restraints require no action
by the vehicle occupants to be employed.

ACTIVE RESTRAINTS

The active restraints for this model include:

•

Front Seat Belts - Both outboard front seating positions are equipped with three-point seat belt systems
employing floor sill mounted (club cab) or lower B-pillar mounted (quad cab) inertia latch-type emergency lock-
ing retractors, height-adjustable roof rail mounted (club cab) or upper B-pillar mounted (quad cab) turning
loops, a traveling lower seat belt anchor secured to the outboard side of the seat frame, and a traveling end-
release seat belt buckle secured to the inboard side of the seat frame. The driver side front seat belt buckle
includes an integral seat belt switch that detects whether the driver side front seat belt has been fastened. A
fixed position lap belt and buckle is provided for vehicles with a center front seating position.

•

Rear Seat Belts - On all vehicles equipped with rear seats, each rear seating position is equipped with a
three-point seat belt system. The outboard seating position belts employ lower rear pillar mounted inertia latch-
type emergency locking retractors, fixed position upper rear pillar mounted turning loops, self-cinching latch
plates for compatibility with child seats and fixed lower seat belt anchors secured to the floor panel (club cab)
or lower rear pillar (quad cab). The quad cab rear seat center seating position belt has an inertia latch-type
emergency locking retractor secured to the rear floor panel and a routing bracket secured to the top of the cab
back panel. Fixed end-release buckles are secured to the floor panel on club cab models. On quad cab mod-
els the buckle units for the center and left outboard seating positions are secured to the floor panel with the
rear seat mounting hardware, while the center anchor buckle and the right outboard buckle are secured to the
floor panel with the center retractor mounting hardware.

•

Child Restraint Anchors - All vehicles with rear seats are equipped with three child seat upper tether anchors
that are secured to the upper cab back panel reinforcement. On club cab models the two outboard anchors are
loops of webbing located behind the hinged upper rear seat back pads, while the center anchor is a stamped
“D” ring located behind a small hinged access door in the center of the cab back trim panel. On quad cab
models all three anchors include a “D” ring covered by a loop of webbing strap located behind the rear seat
backs. Club cab models also have an upper tether anchor integral to the back of the passenger side front seat
cushion frame. Two lower anchors are also provided for the passenger side outboard front and rear seating
positions of club cab models, and for each rear outboard seating position on quad cab models. These lower

tether and lower anchors for the front seat are deleted on quad cab models.

PASSIVE RESTRAINTS

The passive restraints available for this model include
the following:

•

Dual Front Airbags - Multistage driver and front
passenger airbags are used in this model. This
airbag system is a passive, inflatable, Supple-
mental Restraint System (SRS) and vehicles with
this equipment can be readily identified by the
“SRS - AIRBAG” logo molded into the driver air-
bag trim cover in the center of the steering wheel
and also into the passenger airbag door on the
top of the instrument panel above the glove box.
Vehicles with the airbag system can also be
identified by the airbag indicator, which will illumi-
nate in the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC) for about seven seconds as a bulb test
each time the ignition switch is turned to the On
position. A pyrotechnic-type seat belt tensioner is
also integral to the driver and passenger front
seat belt retractors to work in conjunction with
the dual front airbags.

•

Occupant Classification System - Vehicles

manufactured for sale in North America (except
Mexico) also include an Occupant Classification System (OCS) with components that are located on the front
seats. These components include an Occupant Classification Module (OCM) and four seat weight sensors on
the passenger seat, and seat track position sensors on both the driver and passenger seats. Vehicles
equipped with the OCS components can be readily identified by a passenger airbag on/off indicator (2) located
between the two air outlets on the instrument panel center bezel (1) above the radio.

•
