Fasteners And Mounting Points, Checking After A Collision

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

WARNING:

The seat belt system must be inspected systematically after every accident. If damage is determined at any inspection point, the customer must be informed that it is necessary to replace the seat belt.

The following visual inspections and function tests must be performed:

Seat belt latch tongue deformed (fully extended).
Height adjustment not functional.
Mounting points (seat, pillar, vehicle floor) distorted or threads damaged.

If damage is found on the components, replace the entire seat belt with the seat belt latch.

If damage is detected on anchoring points, they must be replaced.

NOTE:

For damage found that is not accident-related, for example, wear, only replace the part that is damaged.
