Seat Belt Latch, Checking
-- Insert the belt tongue into the seat belt latch until it clicks into place. Check if the locking mechanism is latched correctly by pulling firmly on the belt webbing.

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 check at least five times. If the belt tongue fails to spring out even just one of the times, replace the entire seat belt with the seat belt latch.
WARNING:
Under no circumstances may lubricant be used to eliminate noise or stiffness at the seat belt latch buttons.
