Attention: Noises during the winding of the seat belt are due to the principle of operation. If strong noises appear, the belt can be replaced. However, oil or grease should never be used to eliminate noise. The winding machine cannot be disassembled, as a highly compressed spring may jump out. Risk of injury!
Pull the seat belt out completely and check for fiber separation. Belt damage can occur, for example, when it is jammed or from burning cigarette ash. In this case, the seat belt must be replaced.
If areas of wear are found, but without separation of the fibers, the belt should not be replaced.
If the seat belt is difficult to move, check that the belt is not twisted; You may need to remove the B-pillar trim.

Clean the belt webbing only with soap and water, never use solvents or chemical cleaners.
