4. Check buckle and latch for proper operation and to
determine if latch plate is worn, deformed, or dam-
aged.
5. Inspect the retractor web storage device, which is
mounted on the floor of the vehicle, for damage. The
retractor is the heart of the occupant restraint system
and can often be damaged if abused, even uninten-
tionally. Check operation to ensure that it is not locked
up and that it spools out and retracts webbing prop-
erly.
WARNING! Failure to adjust tether belts
properly can cause excessive movement of
the seat in an accident. This could lead to
death or greater injuries for you. Tether belts
should be adjusted so that they are taut
when the seat is in its most upward and for-
ward position.
6. If tethers are used, be sure they are properly attached
to the seat and, if adjustable, that they are adjusted in
accordance with installation instructions. Tethers
must also be inspected for web wear and proper tight-
ness of mounting hardware.
