Seat Belts - Visual Check
Given that seat belts are an important element of passive safety, they must be replaced immediately if they do not function properly.
Attention! The noise that occurs when the seat belts are retracted is due to the operation of the automatic belt winder. Never lubricate the mechanism to eliminate these noises. In extreme cases, exchange the seat belt for another. It is forbidden to disassemble the automatic retractor of the seat belts, as this may pop out the tensioned spring. Danger of accident!
1. Pull the seat belt completely out of the retractor. Check the belt webbing for broken fibers. Damage can be caused, for example, by a pinched belt or a burning cigarette. In this case, replace the belt.
If places with scuffs are found, but the fibers are intact, then the belt does not need to be replaced.
If the belt is heavy, check that the belt is not twisted. If necessary remove a covering of an average rack.
If the automatic retractor does not work, replace the belt.
2. Clean the webbing with soap and water only, never use solvents or chemical cleaners.
