00 00 ... Seat belts: checking condition of belt strap, function of inertia reel mechanism, locking reel, belt buckle
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 BMW 545i and 2004 BMW 545i. 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.
