- Check the condition of the seat belts.

- Carry out a visual inspection of the body, anti-corrosion protection of the bottom and body cavities and eliminate damage.

Seat belts - visual inspection
Due to the fact that seat belts are an important component of passive safety, if they do not function well, they should be replaced with new ones.
Attention! The noise that occurs when the seat belts are retracted is due to the operation of the automatic belt winder. Never lubricate the mechanism to eliminate these noises. In extreme cases, exchange the seat belt for another. It is forbidden to disassemble the automatic retractor of the seat belts, as this may pop out the tensioned spring. Danger of accident!
1. Pull the seat belt completely out of the retractor. Check the belt webbing for broken fibers. Damage can be caused, for example, by a pinched belt or a burning cigarette. In this case, replace the belt (see illustration).
19.1 Check the condition of the seat belt
If places with scuffs are found, but the fibers are intact, then the belt does not need to be replaced.
If the belt is heavy, check that the belt is not twisted. If necessary remove a covering of an average rack.
If the automatic retractor does not work, replace the belt.
2. Clean the webbing with soap and water only, never use solvents or chemical cleaners.
Visual check of the condition of the body and bottom
3. Check the condition of the paintwork of the body when washing the car or applying preservative protective agents. If necessary, repair any damage or defects found.
