Checking inertia reel (locking mechanism)

The inertia reel has two locking functions.

• The first locking function is triggered by the belt being jerked out of reel (belt extraction acceleration).

Checking

• Pull belt out of inertia reel with firm jerk.

• Will not lock - renew seat belt complete with buckle.
• If difficulties are experienced when belt is extended or retracted, first check whether position of inertia reel has been altered.
• The second locking function is triggered by a change in vehicle movement (vehicle-dependent locking function). Vehicle must be moved over a flat level surface for this.

Checking

• Put on seat belt.
• Accelerate vehicle to 20 km/h and then carry out emergency braking with foot brake.

• If seat belt is not locked by locking mechanism during braking procedure, renew seat belt complete with buckle.
