Seat Belt

Inspection

Retractor Inspection

1. Before installing the retractor, check that the seat belt

can be pulled out freely.

2. Make sure that the seat belt does not lock when the

retractor is leaned slowly up to 15° from the mounted

position. The seat belt should lock when the retractor

is leaned over 40°.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to disassemble the retrac-

tor.

3. Replace the seat belt with a new one if there is any

abnormality.
On-the-Car Seat Belt Inspection

1. Check that the seat belt is not twisted or caught on

anything.

2. After installing the anchors, check for free move-

ment on the anchor bolts. If necessary, remove the

anchor bolts and check that the washers and other

parts are not damaged or improperly installed.

3. Check the seat belts for damage or discoloration.

Clean with a shop towel if necessary.

CAUTION: Use only soap and water to clean.

NOTE: Dirt build-up in the metal loops of the upper

anchors can cause the seat belts to retract slowly.

Wipe the inside of the loops with a clean cloth damp-

ened in isopropyl alcohol.

4. Check that the seat belt does not lock when pulled

out slowly. The seat belt is designed to lock only

during a sudden stop or impact.

5. Make sure that the seat belt will retract automatically

when released.

6. For each passenger's seat belt, make sure that the

locking mechanism in the seat belt retractor will

engage when the seat belt is pulled all the way out.

7. Replace the seat belt with a new one if there is any

abnormality.
