Automatic rewinder (blocking effect) - checking
The belt's automatic rewinder has two blocking functions:
1 - Checking:
The first blocking function is activated when the belt is quickly pulled from the automatic rewinder (acceleration of the belt's unwinding).
–  Pull the belt, strongly, out of the automatic rewinder.
If no blocking is found - replace the full safety belt with its fastening.
If there are fails unwinding and winding the belt, it is necessary to check first if the automatic rewinder position is changed.
2 - Checking:
The second locking function operates when a sudden change is noticed in the vehicle movement (vehicle-dependent locking function).
–  Fasten the safety belt.
–  Accelerate the vehicle until reaching the (20 km/h) speed and press the brake pedal strongly.
If, during braking, the blocking system does not work, it is necessary to replace the full safety belt with the fastening.
  Caution
For safety reasons, the test drive should be made in a street without movement, in order not to expose other drivers to the danger.
