Belt Guides and Locking Tongues, Checking

Belt guides and locking tongues, checking

Plastic-covered guides show, after strain on belt system (when belt was fastened during accident) fine parallel scoring. (Wear which has been brought about by frequent belt use can be recognized by smooth signs of wear which are free of scoring).

- Inspect for deformation, fracturing and cracks in plastic.

- If scoring and/or damage is determined, replace seat belt complete with belt latch.
