Must the Seat Belt Be Replaced After Locking?

[VanHope]

After the seat belt gets stuck, check the hinge or locking position of the seat belt to see if there is dust or foreign matter. In this case, you can clean the foreign matter yourself. If the seat belt is locked and cannot be released, it must be replaced immediately. If the internal retractor of the seat belt ages, causing the seat belt to become too loose and unable to tighten in time, the seat belt should be replaced immediately to prevent the occupants from sliding out due to the loose seat belt in an emergency, which may cause injuries. If the impact is too strong, the person may be directly thrown out. If the seat belt has been subjected to strong tensile loads during use, it should be replaced in time for safety reasons, even if it is not damaged, and should no longer be used. If the vehicle is involved in a collision that causes the airbags to deploy or explode, the seat belt must be replaced at the same time. This is because during a collision, the seat belt will firmly restrain the occupants in the seat to cooperate with the cushioning protection of the airbags, but it will also suffer a great impact. Therefore, after an accident, even if the seat belt is not damaged, its strength will be greatly weakened, and it is recommended to replace it with a new one immediately. Precautions for using seat belts: Check the condition of the seat belt: If damage or other problems are found, it should be replaced immediately. One person, one belt: The seat belt should be fastened across the hips and chest, spanning the pelvis and rib cage. It should be used by one person only and should not be shared by two people. Avoid pressing on hard or fragile objects: The seat belt should not press on hard or fragile items, such as mobile phones or glasses. Retract and store in time: When the seat is unoccupied, the seat belt should be retracted into the retractor, and the buckle should be placed in the storage position. Seat belt maintenance: Avoid pressing the seat belt on hard or fragile objects, such as glasses, pens, or keys in clothes; avoid rubbing the seat belt on sharp edges to prevent damage; do not tilt the seat back too much, otherwise, the seat belt may not extend or retract properly; when the seat is unoccupied, retract the seat belt into the retractor to prevent the buckle from hitting other objects during emergency braking and causing unnecessary trouble. If the seat belt is too dirty, it can be wiped with a towel soaked in soapy water. Remember not to use bleach or fuel for cleaning, as this may corrode the seat belt; also, do not scrub with a hard brush to avoid damaging the seat belt and affecting its service life. The correct method is to gently brush with a soft brush and then wipe dry with a dry towel. Foreign matter in the seat belt buckle. Sometimes, we may encounter difficulty inserting the seat belt into the buckle or pressing the button several times without response when trying to release the seat belt. In this case, check if there is any foreign matter inside and clean it in time.
