Seat Belt Retractor: Technician Safety Information
WARNING: AFTER ANY VEHICLE COLLISION, THE SAFETY BELT SYSTEM AT ALL OUTBOARD SEATING POSITIONS
(EXCEPT DRIVER, WHICH HAS NO "AUTOMATIC LOCKING RETRACTOR" FEATURE) MUST BE CHECKED BY A QUALIFIED
TECHNICIAN TO VERIFY THAT THE "AUTOMATIC LOCKING RETRACTOR" FEATURE FOR CHILD SEATS IS STILL
FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, IN ADDITION TO OTHER CHECKS FOR CORRECT SAFETY BELT SYSTEM FUNCTION. A BELT AND
RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED IF THE SAFETY BELT ASSEMBLY'S "AUTOMATIC LOCKING RETRACTOR"
FEATURE, OR ANY OTHER SAFETY BELT FUNCTION, IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY WHEN CHECKED ACCORDING TO THE
PROCEDURES. FAILURE TO REPLACE THE BELT AND RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN
COLLISIONS.
