Front seat belt: Preparations
As the illustrations in this service information are used for different model years and / or models, some variation may occur. However, the essential information in the illustrations is always correct.
Disconnect the battery lead.
For the seat belt tensioner, see Handling non-deployed SRS-components
Under no circumstances use an ohmmeter or other live measuring instrument to take readings on a disconnected non-deployed seat belt tensioner. This could deploy it.
Always replace the seat belt (inertia) reels with the seat belt tensioners and seat belt buckles after a collision. Always replace the seat belts, seat belt tensioners and seat belt buckles when an airbag has deployed. In the event of a collision where the airbag did not deploy the seat belt tensioners must be checked and replaced if necessary.
Seat belt tensioners must never be unscrewed, repaired or moved to another vehicle.
