Check the belt clip (retaining button) and, if necessary, belt retainer of belt tongue on seat belt strap for damage and installation.

Retract seat belt strap; here the electrically motorized reel must retract the seat belt strap automatically and without squeaking; the last section of the strap may have to be fed in.

Pull out seat belt strap in short tugs - seat belt locking reel must lock.
