Functional Test - Safety Belt Retractor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The safety belt retractor must be freely operational for extraction and retraction of the safety belt webbing between full extension and in-vehicle stowed positions.
- Extract and retract the safety belt between the full extension and stowed positions.
- Verify the safety belt retractor operates without excessive effort or binding.
- Install a new safety belt retractor if any concern is found or the complaint has been verified.
