Seat Belts

[Rob's Lexx]

Bit of a weird one this, but something that's cropped up today.......

Do all IS200's have a double pass tongue on their seatbelts???

Or is this just on the earlier (1999-2000) models??

[DJ Wozza]

what is the difference between double pass tongue & single ?

(or is this a silly question ?)

Slightly

I fitted a late model IS200 Leather interior into my 2001 model

and the tongue was too big for the (newer) seat mounted buckle,

but they were only £10+VAT for each so just bought 2 of the 2001 older

spec ones & fitted them to my newer seats.

All works fine including the sensors.

I then got sent the later belts so if anyone needs a full set of front belts lemmie know.

[Rob's Lexx]

it refers to the plastic part of the buckle and is not easy to explain in words.....

The easiest way to explain is that a single pass tongue means the belt passes through the plastic eyelet of the buckle and back to the b-pillar (i.e just loops round the buckle). A double pass tongue is where the belt passes through the plastic eyelet of the buckle and then through another plastic eyelet before going back to the b-pillar.
