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.

1. Inspect all seat belt anchor bolts to verify that they are secure.
2. Inspect the seat belt buckle, making sure it locks and unlocks easily.
3. After buckling the seat belt, tug sharply on the belt, checking that the buckle remains locked.
4. Fully extend the seat belt to make sure there are no twists or tears in it.
5. Allow the seat belt to fully retract to make sure it does so easily.
6. Remove the retractor assembly.
