Inertia Reel Locking Function, Checking

Inertia reel locking function, checking

Inertia reel has two locking functions.

- First locking function is initiated by belt being jerked out of reel (belt extraction acceleration).

Checking

- Pull belt out of inertia reel with firm jerk.

- No locking effect - replace seat belt assembly.

- If difficulties are experienced when pulling belt out or reeling belt in, first check whether position of inertia reel has been altered.

- Second locking function is initiated by change in vehicle movement sequence (vehicle- dependent locking function).

- Fasten seat belt.

- Accelerate vehicle to 20 km/h (12 mph) and then emergency brake.

- If seat belt does not lock during braking procedure, replace seat belt complete with belt latch.

WARNING! For safety reasons, road test should be performed on traffic-free area to ensure that other motorists/pedestrians are not endangered.
