Belt Guide Rings and Locking Tongue, Checking

The plastic-covered guides show fine parallel scoring after straining belt system (belt was fastened during accident). (Wear which has been brought about by frequent belt use can be recognized by smooth signs of wear which are free of scoring).

- Check plastic for deformation, rupture and tearing.
