5.11 Safety Belt System
5.11.1 Seat Belts
WARNING: Follow removal and
installation procedures for the seat belt
system to ensure correct function of the
restraints system.
The removal and reinstallation of the seat belt,
buckle or any component of the seat belt system
should be avoided. However if removal and
re-installation of the system is required during the
conversion, follow the removal and installation
guidelines of the seat belt system as described in
the workshop manual. Please consult your local
National Sales Company representative for further
information.
When removing the seat belt system, a seat belt
webbing forked retainer should be applied to the
webbing 200mm below the webbing button stop.
This prevents a situation where all the webbing
runs back into the retractor and the retractor
becomes locked.
When reinstalling, fit the retractor to the body first
and gently pull the webbing out of the retractor to
allow fitment of the D loop. Then remove the
forked retainer. If the retractor is locked, allow a
small amount of webbing to reel back into the
retractor to allow the webbing lock to release. Do
not attempt to release the retractor by pulling on
the webbing with significant force or by manually
interfering with the locking mechanism.
5.11.2 Driver Belt-Minder
Driver belt-minder is a legal requirement for an M1
vehicle. A switch is provided in the driver's buckle
to sense the seat belt wearing status of the driver.
If an M1 vehicle is modified, this function must be
retained.
