Safety Belt Twisted at Safety Belt Guide

Safety belt assemblies should be periodically inspected to ensure they are not damaged and are in proper operating condition, particularly if they have been subject to severe stress.

Twisted or Jammed Safety Belt
If the lap belt retractor jams, free the lap belt by doing the following:
- Pull on the belt with both hands to tighten it on the retractor spool.
- Feed the belt back into the retractor until it is completely retracted. Repeat previous step, if necessary.
- Pull the belt out of the retractor as far as it will go. Remove any foreign matter or untwist the belt, as necessary, and let the belt retract.
- Extend and retract the belt about five times to ensure the belt retractor operates properly.
