Due to recent events, we should like to point out that seat belts with the following problems are increasingly being replaced:
Incomplete retraction
Incomplete unwinding
However no fault can be found on the seat belts during the inspection.
Before replacing the seat belts, the following components are to be checked for unrestricted movement or the installation position (twisting):
Cover
Damping material
Electrical connector
Electrical line
Remove any dirt from the belt guide or belt strap. Please note the information in Xentry TIPS (group 91.40).
Cover
The belt strap may not make contact with the trim or any other trim parts.
