Twisted seat belt
If it is dicult to remove the seat belt from
the belt guide, the seat belt may have be-
come twisted if it was returned too quickly
into the side trim:
1. Take hold of the latch plate then slowly
and carefully pull out the seat belt.
2. Untwist the seat belt and guide it back
slowly by hand.
3. Fasten the seat belt even if you are un-
able to undo the twist.
However, the twist should not be in the
part of the seat belt that comes into di-
rect contact with the body.
4. Go to a suitably qualified workshop as
soon as possible to have the twist re-
moved.
Seat belt routing
Please refer to at the start of the
chapt
er on page 48.
Seat belts only provide an optimum level of
protection during an accident when they
are routed correctly. Correct seat belt rout-
ing reduces the risk of severe or fatal inju-
ries. Correct seat belt routing also holds the
vehicle occupants in position so that an in-
flating airbag can oer the maximum level
of protection. Therefore you must always
fasten your seat belt and ensure that the
seat belt routing is correct → Fig. 25.
