Seat Belt Latch, Checking

-- Insert the belt tongue into the seat belt latch until it clicks into place. Check whether the locking mechanism is properly engaged by giving the seat belt webbing a firm jerk.

Replace the entire seat belt with the seat belt latch if the belt tongue fails even once to engage properly in the seat belt latch during at least five tests.

Release, Checking

-- Press the seat belt latch with finger pressure to release the seat belt. With the seat belt webbing relaxed, the belt tongue must spring out of the seat belt latch without assistance.

Perform the test at least five times. Replace the entire seat belt with the seat belt latch if the belt tongue fails to spring out even once.

WARNING:

Under No Circumstances May Lubricant Be Used To Eliminate Noise Or Stiffness At The Seat Belt Latch Buttons.
