Checking automatic belt retractor (locking action)
Checking automatic belt retractor (locking action)
The automatic belt retractor has two locking functions.
t  The first locking function is triggered by pulling the belt quickly out of the automatic belt retractor (accelerated belt unwinding).
Check 1
–  Tug the webbing firmly to pull it out of the automatic belt retractor.
l  No locking effect - replace seat belt complete with buckle.
l  In the event of problems when pulling out or retracting the belt, start by checking whether the automatic belt retractor has changed position.
l  The second locking function is triggered by altering vehicle motion (vehicle-dependent locking function).
Check 2
  WARNING
For safety reasons, the test drive should be performed on a road with no traffic so as not to endanger other road users.
–  Fasten seat belt.
–  Accelerate the vehicle to 20 km/h and then press the foot brake to implement emergency braking.
l  If the belt is not locked by the locking mechanism on braking, replace the seat belt complete with the buckle.
