Manual Description
Inspect the seat belt attaching area for damage or distortion and repair as necessary before installing a new seat belt assembly. Check that the seat belt retractor, seat belt anchor and buckle bolts are securely attached. Check the shoulder seat belt guide and shoulder belt height adjuster for front seats.
If the seat belt does not return smoothly, wipe the inside of the loops with a clean paper cloth, because dirt built up in the loops of the upper anchors can cause the seat belts to retract slowly. If the belt does not return smoothly, the cause may be an accumulation of dust or dirt. Use a clip or other device to hold the seat belt at the center pillar belt opening.
Hold both ends of the wire and pull taut while moving it up and down several times along the belt opening surface to remove dirt. Any dirt that cannot be removed with the wire can be removed by cleaning the opening with a clean F cloth. In an emergency (sudden stop) the retractor will lock and prevent the belt from extending any further.
