Belt Latch, Checking Function
Checking Belt Buckle
-- Slide the latch tongue into the belt latch until it clicks in place. Pull on the belt webbing strongly to make sure the latch mechanism is engaged.
- Replace seat belt complete with seat belt latch if belt tongue fails even only once to engage properly in seat belt latch during at least 5 tests.
Check Release Mechanism
-- Press the button in the belt latch to release the seat belt. The latch tongue must spring out of the belt latch by itself when the belt webbing is slack.
- Perform the test at least five times. If the latch tongue does not spring out even one time, replace the entire seat belt, including the belt latch.
WARNING:
Under no circumstances may grease be used to eliminate noise or stiffness at belt buckle buttons.
