Passive Restraint Service Checks
The following checks must be carried out at every 15,000 miles (24km) service interval (the period between services must not exceed six months).INERTIA SWITCH
The inertia switch is located in the driver's footwell. Ensure all doors except for the driver's are closed. Sit in the driving position and ensure the gear selector lever is not in the reverse ('R') position. Close and lock the driver's door by pressing the door locking button down; this will also lock the other doors.
Switch the ignition ON (position II), the automatic diagonal seat belts should move to the restaining position.
Raise the test/rest button, which protrudes through the top of the inertia switch cover. Observe that the doors unlock, the automatic diagonal seatbelts remain in the restraining position and the instrument display is switched OFF.
Open the front doors, the automatic diagonal belts should not move from the restraining position. Leave the front doors open and reset the inertia switch by depressing the button. Observe that the instrument display is illuminated and that the diagonal seat belts move to the unrestraining (parked) position.
Lock and unlock the doors to ensure the central locking system still functions. Switch the ignition OFF.
SEAT BELT WARNINGS
Sit in the driving position, close the drivers door and turn the ignition to position II; the automatic diagonal seat belt should deploy to the restaining position (rear dock). The seat belt warning light located on the left-hand side of the fascia below the hazard warning switch and the seat belt symbol on the vehicle condition monitor (VCM) display should be illuminated until the diagonal belt is located in the restraining position.
Release the seat belt buckle from the travelling mechanism by operating the red 'PRESS' button. The seat belt warning light and VCM seat belt symbol should illuminate. Re-attach the seat belt buckle to the runner/tongue assembly with the red 'PRESS' button facing inboard. Switch the ignition OFF to release the seat belt.
During these checks the audible warning (continuous low pitched tone) should operate for approximately six seconds when the driver's diagonal belt is not in the restraining position.
REVERSE GEAR INHIBIT SWITCH
Sit in the driving position, close the driver's door and turn the ignition key to position II; the automatic diagonal seat belt should deploy to the restraining position (rear dock) thus extinguishing the seat belt warning lights.
Select reverse gear (position 'R') and open the driver's door. The diagonal belt should remain in the restraining position. Ensuring that body or limbs are not in the path of the deploying seat belt, disengage reverse gear. The diagonal seat belt should deploy to the unrestraining position (front dock).
