Automatic Belt Retractor (Locking Func‐
tion), Checking
The automatic belt retractor has two locking functions.
♦ The first locking function is initiated by the belt being jerked
out of the automatic belt retractor (belt extraction accelera‐
tion).
Test 1
– Pull the seat belt webbing out of the automatic belt retractor
with a firm jerk.
• No locking effect - replace the entire seat belt with seat belt
latch.
• If malfunctions are experienced when pulling out or retracting
belt, first check whether position of the automatic belt retractor
has been altered.
• The second locking function is initiated by change in vehicle
velocity (vehicle-dependent locking function).
Test 2
WARNING
For safety reasons, road test should be carried out on traffic-
free stretch to ensure that other drivers/pedestrians etc. are not
endangered.
– Fasten the seat belt.
– Accelerate the vehicle to 20 km/h (12 mph) and then perform
a hard braking maneuver with the foot brake.
• Replace the entire seat belt with the seat belt latch if the seat
belt is not locked by locking mechanism during the braking
procedure.
1.14
Seat Belt Latch, Visually Inspecting
– Inspect the seat belt latch for the formation of cracks and frac‐
turing.

Seat Belt Latch, Function Test
Seat Belt Latch, Checking
– Insert the belt tongue into the seat belt latch until it clicks into
place. Check whether the locking mechanism is properly en‐
gaged by giving the seat belt webbing a firm jerk.
• Replace the entire seat belt with the seat belt latch if the belt
tongue fails even once to engage properly in the seat belt latch
during at least five tests.
Release, Checking
– Press the seat belt latch to release the seat belt. With the seat
belt relaxed, the lock tongue must spring out of seat belt latch
without assistance.
• Perform the test at least five times. Replace the entire seat belt
with the seat belt latch if the belt tongue fails to spring out even
once.
WARNING
Under no circumstances may grease be used to eliminate
noise or stiffness at seat belt latch buttons.
1.16
Seat Belt Relays and Belt Tongue,
Checking
The plastic-covered guides show fine parallel scoring after strain‐
ing of the belt system (belt was fastened during accident). (Wear
from frequent belt use can be identified by smooth signs of wear
that are free of scoring.)
– Check plastic for deformation, rupture and the formation of
cracks.
• For groove build-up and/or damage, replace the entire seat
belt with the seat belt latch.
1.17
Fasteners and Mounting Points, Check‐
ing After a Collision
♦ Seat belt latch tongue deformed (stretched).
♦ Height adjustment not functional.

damaged.
• If damage is found on the components, replace the entire seat
belt with the seat belt latch.
• If parts of the seat belt system are removed due to an accident,
replace the belt system bolts.
