Cars are equipped with two types of belts - with and without inertial coils. In the first case, the belts do not need to be adjusted in length, while in the second case, adjustment is necessary. The length of the belt should be such that between the chest and the diagonal strap 2 (pic. 18) the palm passed freely, and the waist strap 4 fit snugly to the hips. Changing the length of the belt is carried out by the regulator 3.
Pic. 18. Seat Belt:
1 - overlay; 2 - diagonal strap; 3 - regulator; 4 - waist strap; 5 - tongue; 6 - button; 7 - lock
To fasten the belts, insert the tongue 5 into the lock 7 until it clicks, without allowing the straps to twist. Do not use a seat belt on a child sitting on a passenger's lap.
To unfasten the belt, press button 6 of the lock. For belts without inertia spools, after unfastening, insert tongue 5 into the pocket of the lining 1.
If the straps are dirty, clean them with a mild soap solution. It is not allowed to iron the tapes with an iron.
The belt must be replaced with a new one if it has been subjected to a critical load in a traffic accident or has abrasions, breaks and other damage.
