WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 13 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW 330Ci, 2006 BMW 325Ci, 2005 BMW 325xi, 2005 BMW 325i, and 2005 BMW 325Ci. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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.
