Inspection

AFTER A COLLISION

WARNING:

To avoid the risk of death or severe injury:

Inspect all seat belt system components including the seat belt webbing, retractors, pretensioners, buckles, anchors, and attaching hardware after any collision.

NISSAN/INFINITI recommends that all seat belt assemblies and buckles in use during a collision be replaced unless the collision was minor and all seat belt system components including the seat belt webbing, retractors, pretensioners, buckles, anchors, and attaching hardware show no damage and continue to operate properly.

Inspect all seat belt assemblies and components including webbing, retractors, buckles, anchors and attaching hardware not in use during a collision. Replace if either damage or improper operation is noted.

Seat belt pretensioners activate whenever an air bag deploys and cannot be reused. If an air bag deploys, always replace the seat belt assemblies and system components including webbing, retractors, buckles, anchors and attaching hardware, even if the seat belts were not in use during a collision.

Failure to follow any of the above steps could result in serious personal injury in an accident.

Replace any seat belt assembly (including anchor bolts) if:

The seat belt is in use at the time of a collision (except for minor collisions and the belts, retractors and buckles show no damage and continue to operate properly).
The seat belt is damaged in an accident (i.e. torn webbing, bent retractor or guide, etc.).
The seat belt attaching point is damaged in an accident. Inspect the seat belt attaching area for damage or distortion and repair if necessary before installing a new seat belt assembly.
Anchor bolts are deformed or worn out.
The seat belt assembly must be replaced even if the seat belts were not in use during the collision in which the air bags were deployed.

PRELIMINARY CHECKS

Check the seat belt warning lamp for proper operation as per the following:Turn power switch ON. The seat belt warning lamp should illuminate. Fasten the seat belt. The seat belt warning lamp should turn OFF.

If the air bag warning lamp turns ON, perform self-diagnosis using CONSULT. Refer to CONSULT Function.

Check that the seat belt retractor, seat belt anchor and buckle bolts are tightened firmly.

Check the shoulder seat belt guide and shoulder belt height adjuster for front seats. Check that guide swivels freely and that webbing lays flat and does not bind in guide. Check that height adjuster operates properly and holds securely.

Check retractor operation:Fully extend the seat belt webbing and check for twists, tears or other damage. Allow the seat belt to retract. Check that seat belt returns smoothly and completely to the retractor. If the webbing does not return smoothly, the cause may be an accumulation of dust or dirt. Use the “SEAT BELT TAPE SET” and perform the following steps.

Inspect The Front Seat Belt Shoulder Anchor

Pull the seat belt out to a length of 500 mm (19.69 in) or more.
Fix the seat belt at the center pillar webbing opening with a clip or other device.
Pass a thin wire through the shoulder anchor webbing opening. Hold both ends of the wire and pull it tightly while moving it up and down several times along the webbing opening surface to remove dirt stuck there.
Any dirt that cannot be removed with the wire can be removed by cleaning the opening with a clean cloth.
Apply tape at the point where the webbing contacts the shoulder anchor webbing opening.

NOTE:
Apply the tape so that there is no slack or wrinkling.
Remove the clip fixing the seat belt and check that the webbing returns smoothly.

Fasten the seat belt. Check that the seat belt is securely fastened. Release the seat belt. Check that the webbing and tongue return to their original position.

Repeat steps above if necessary to check the other seat belts.

SEAT BELT RETRACTOR ON-VEHICLE CHECK

Emergency Locking Retractors (ELR)

NOTE:

All seat belt retractors are Emergency Locking Retractors (ELR) type. In an emergency (sudden stop) the retractor will lock and prevent the webbing from extending any further.
