Checking inertia reel (locking mechanism) |
The inertia reel has two locking functions. |
t
| The first locking function is triggered by the belt being jerked out of the reel (belt extension acceleration). |
–
| Pull belt out of inertia reel with firm jerk. |
l
| No locking effect - renew complete seat belt including belt buckle. |
l
| If difficulties are experienced when belt is extended or retracted, first check whether position of inertia reel has been altered. |
l
| The second locking function is triggered by a change in vehicle speed (vehicle-dependent locking function). |
WARNING For safety reasons, the road test should be carried out on a traffic-free stretch to ensure that other road users are not endangered. |
|
–
| Accelerate vehicle to 20 km/h and then press foot brake firmly (emergency braking). |
l
| If braking does not activate seat belt locking mechanism, renew complete seat belt including belt buckle. |
