WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 11 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW 330Ci, 2005 BMW 330i, 2005 BMW 330Ci, 2004 BMW 330i, and 2004 BMW 330Ci. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Belt strap, retractor mechanism, belt interlock
Pull out strap and make sure it emerges without jerking.
Check belt strap for
- folding
- unraveling
- pinches
- cracks and tears
- traces of melting
Retract belt strap; here the inertia reel mechanism must retract the strap automatically and without squeaking noises, the last section of the strap may have to be fed in.
Pull out belt strap in short tugs - locking reel must lock.
Belt buckle
The tongue on the belt strap must easily snap into place with an audible click.
When the "Press" button is pressed, the tongue must be ejected from the buckle under spring pressure.
NOTE:
If the seat belt is damaged, you must replace the seat belt completely after consulting the customer; issue a separate invoice for this work.
