Safety Belt Retractor Unjamming Procedure

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.
