Belt Latch Function, Checking

Checking Belt Buckle

- Slide the latch tongue into the belt latch until it clicks in place. Pull on the belt webbing strongly to make sure the latch mechanism is engaged.

• Replace seat belt complete with seat belt latch if belt tongue fails even only once to engage properly in seat belt latch during at least 5 tests.

Check Release Mechanism

- Press the button in the belt latch to release the seat belt. The latch tongue must spring out of the belt latch by itself when the belt webbing is slack.

• Perform the test at least five times. If the latch tongue does not spring out even one time, replace the entire seat belt, including the belt latch.


Under no circumstances may grease be used to eliminate noise or stiffness at belt buckle buttons.
