Checking Seat Belt, Buckles, Retractors, Anchors and AdjustersNLS00074
CAUTION:
After any collision, inspect all seat belt assemblies, including retractors and other attached hard-
wares (I.e. anchor bolt, guide rail set). Nissan recommends to replace all seat belt assemblies in
use during a collision, unless not damaged and properly operating after minor collision.
Also inspect seat belt assemblies not in use during a collision, and replace if damaged or improp-
erly operating.
Seat belt pre-tensioner should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during a frontal col-
lision where the driver and passenger air bags are deployed.
If any component of seat belt assembly is questionable, do not repair.
Replace as seat belt assembly.
If webbing is cut, frayed, or damaged, replace belt assembly.
Never oil tongue and buckle.
Use a genuine NISSAN seat belt assembly.
For details, refer to Refer to Service Manual in SB section.
Check anchors for loose mounting
Check belts for damage
Check retractor for smooth operation
Check function of buckles and tongues when buckled and released
