WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Volkswagen Beetle, 2015 Volkswagen Beetle, 2014 Volkswagen Beetle, and 2013 Volkswagen Beetle. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
After every accident the seat belt system must be inspected systematically! If damage is determined when inspecting the check points, customer must be informed regarding necessity of changing belts.
The plastic-covered guides show fine parallel scoring after straining of the belt system (belt was fastened during accident). (Wear caused by frequent belt use can be recognized by smooth signs of wear which are free of scoring).
-- Check plastic for deformation, rupture and tearing.
- For groove build-up and/or damage, replace seat belt completely with lock.
