Caution: Perform this test in an area clear of other vehicles or obstructions.
Do not conduct this test on the open road. A large, empty parking lot is suitable.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to the vehicle and
possible personal injury.
Caution: To help avoid personal injury from unrepaired crash damage to a restraint
system, perform the seat belt check for each seat belt system. Replace the
seat belt system if there is any doubt about the condition of system components.
| • | Inspect all seat belt anchor bolts to verify that they are secure. |
| • | Inspect the seat belt buckle, making sure it locks and unlocks
easily. |
| • | After buckling the seat belt, tug sharply on the belt, checking
that the buckle remains locked. |
| • | Fully extend the seat belt to make sure there are no twists or
tears in it. |
| • | Allow the seat belt to fully retract to make sure it does so easily. |
| • | Drive the vehicle at 16 km/h (10 mph) and apply
the brakes firmly. |
| • | Verify that the seat belt locks and does not allow your body to
move forward. |
| • | If the belt does not lock during the running test, remove the
retractor and perform the static test. |
