mckellyb Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 This is new to our '02 RX. When the passenger's seat seatbelt is fastened, when you turn the ignition off, there is a hint of some kind of retraction device engaging/disengaging. The driver's side doesn't do this, and it happens only if you pull a bit of the belt out before you turn the ignition off, i.e., if you repeatedly turn the ignition on/off, the belt doesn't move a little bit every time, just the first time, unless you pull on it a bit while the ignition is 'on'. Is there something other than the explosive gas method of tightening seatbelts pre-impact on these machines? If so, kudos to Toyota for doing it, but I'm guessing I should have it looked at before warranty expires, though I'm pretty sure this car has 7 years on it, so there's no hurry. Thanks!

jbarhorst2 Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 My '01 RX300 also does this, but it happens on both the driver and passenger belts. I don't know what it is, but you're right, they retract slightly when you turn the key off. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
