Vehicle Sensitive (Emergency) Locking Mode

Vehicle Sensitive (Emergency) Locking Mode
1. Buckle up and proceed to an area where you have plenty of space to accelerate and decelerate quickly. If the RH front or rear passenger safety belt must be tested, a passenger should be buckled into the RH front or rear seat. (The RH front belt can be tested using a driver only, providing the driver has the ability to grasp the RH front shoulder belt and extend it approximately 66 cm [26 in] with no compromise to safe driving. This method applies to the 8 km/h [5 mph] test only.).
2. After reaching a safe area to perform sudden stops, attain a speed of approximately 8 km/h (5 mph). Advise the passenger (if applicable) to prepare for a severe brake application. At this time, both driver and passenger must grasp their respective shoulder safety belts and prepare to lean slightly forward at the moment brake application is made.
3. Make a maximum brake application without tire skid. (The maximum brake application should be on dry concrete or equivalent hard road surface, never on a wet or gravel road.).

WARNING: THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER MUST BE PREPARED TO BRACE THEMSELVES IN THE EVENT THE RETRACTOR DOES NOT LOCK.

4. Both driver and passenger should lean slightly forward into the shoulder safety belts. At this instant, belts should lock up without webbing payout.
5. If both shoulder belts lock up, the safety belt assemblies are functioning properly.

6. If either or both retractors fail to lockup at the 8 km/h (5 mph) speed, repeat the test at a constant 24 km/h (15 mph). (This test must be performed with a passenger if other than the driver safety belt is to be tested.).

NOTE: If the retractor of a new safety belt assembly is bolted into a damaged or distorted mounting area, the new retractor can be warped and not function. If this is the case, reshape the metal and install another new complete safety belt assembly.

7. If either or both safety belts do not lock up at 24 km/h (15 mph), return the vehicle for service of safety belts. Remove the retractor and rework sheet metal in the retractor mounting surface. Install the retractor assembly and retest the safety belt assembly(s).
