When inspecting a vehicle that was in a collision, be sure to check all of the seat belt systems regardless of whether or not the system was activated in the collision. Replace any damaged or malfunctioning systems.

CAUTION: Conduct this test in a safe area.

  If a belt does not lock, replace the seat belt assembly (see REMOVAL ).
