Belt Latch Function, Testing

Check the seat belt latch:

- Slide the latch tongue into the belt latch until it clicks in place. Pull on the belt webbing strongly to make sure the latch mechanism is engaged.

• If locking tongue fails to engage properly into the seat belt latch even once during at least 5 tests, replace complete seat belt with seat belt latch.

Check release mechanism:

- Press the seat belt latch to release the seat belt.

- When belt is slack, locking tongue must spring out of seat belt latch on its own.

• Perform the test at least five times. If the latch tongue does not spring out even one time, replace the entire seat belt, including the belt latch.

Under no circumstances may grease be used to eliminate noise or stiffness at belt buckle buttons.
