Seat belts - visual inspection

Warning! The noises that occur when the seat belts are retracted are caused by the automatic belt retractor mechanism. Never lubricate the mechanism to eliminate these noises. As a last resort, replace the seat belt with another one. Do not disassemble the automatic seat belt retractor mechanism, as this may cause the tensioned spring to jump out. Risk of accident!

1. Pull the seat belt webbing completely out of the retractor. Check the belt webbing for torn fibres. Damage may be caused, for example, by the belt being pinched or by a burning cigarette. In this case, replace the belt.

If areas with abrasions are found, but the fibers are intact, then the belt does not need to be replaced.

If the belt is difficult to move, make sure that the tape is not twisted. If necessary, remove the B-pillar trim.

If the automatic retractor does not work, replace the belt (the work is done in the workshop).

Clean the belt tape only with water and soap, never use solvents or chemical cleaning agents.

Dust filter - replacement

2. Open the hood. The cabin filter is located on the air intake pipe under the fairing on the right side.

3. Remove the rubber seal from the fairing fold, and then the fairing grille.

4. Remove holder 2 and take out cabin filter 1 (see arrows in the illustration).
