Inertia-reel three-point seat belts are the lap-and-shoulder (ooh, more hyphens) seat belts your T3 has had since birth. The inertia reel refers to the snazzy gizmo that tightens the belt in an accident and makes it do its job, holding you in place; your inertia activates some thingy (the reel, perhaps?) that locks the belt in place, hence the name. You can test this by pulling on it really quickly and seeing it lock up (assuming they're in good working order, one would hope!). Hope that helps, brotha-man. Coop ________________ Cooper N.
