Suppl. Restraint System
Components
ELR Release Function
•
The RX-8 (SE) features an ELR release function. This is necessary due to the fact that
on the RX-8 the seatbelt retractors for the front seatbelts are installed in the rear doors.
In order to open the rear doors completely, the seat belt webbing has to unwind from the
guide drum even when the vehicle is tilted.
•
The ELR release function is controlled by the RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) module and
only inhibits the locking of the guide drum due to a tilted position of the vehicle. The
seatbelt will always lock when the webbing is quickly unwound from the reel.
•
The picture below shows an overview of the components.
