Seat Belt Relays And Belt Tongue, Checking

The plastic-covered guides show fine parallel grooves after straining of the belt system (belt was fastened during accident). (Wear from frequent belt use can be identified by smooth signs of wear that are free of scoring.)

-- Check plastic for deformation, rupture and the formation of cracks.

• For groove build-up and/or damage, replace the entire seat belt with the seat belt latch.
