Seat Belts: Inspection: Retractor

Before installing the retractor, check that the seat belt can be pulled out freely.
Make sure that the seat belt does not lock when the retractor (A) is leaned slowly up to 15 ° from the mounted position. The seat belt should lock when the retractor is leaned over 40 °. Do not attempt to disassemble the retractor.
