Abstract: A seat system includes a seat having a seatback and an arm supported by the seatback. The arm is extendable from a stowed position to an intermediate position and pivotable in a seat-forward direction from the intermediate position to a deployed position. A webbing guide is fixed to and movable with the arm. The webbing guide is at a top end of the seatback when the arm is at the stowed position and the webbing guide is spaced from the seatback in the seat-forward direction when the arm is at the deployed position.

Abstract: A seatbelt retractor includes a frame and a spool rotatably supported by the frame. A ring is coaxial with the spool on a rotational axis and is selectively lockable with the spool. A locking device is operatively coupled between the spool and the ring to rotationally engage the spool with the ring in a locked position and rotationally disengage the spool from the ring in an unlocked position. One of the ring or the frame defines a recess and a tab is fixed to and extends from the other of the ring or the frame into the recess. When the locking device is in the locked position, the tab is elastically deformable relative to the ring and the frame when rotational force on the ring relative to the frame about the rotational axis exceeds a deformation threshold to allow rotation of the ring relative to the frame.
